    03: From Snout to Tail - The Whole Pig Saga
    Jan 3 2024
    Richard sits down with friend and local farmer Alistair to talk about all things woodland pig. From creating the woodland paddocks, to feeding and the final loading and transportation of pigs and resulting meat. Raising pigs is a relatively new enterprise for Alistair and his wife Laura, so we wanted to get in early on asking how it had all gone after the first two groups.

    Both Richard and Amy have been helping out with the whole process along the way and this discussion reflects that involvement....mostly in the form of tales about grumpy pigs, memories of rugby, and that one time when Richard was closer than he'd like to being eaten alive.

    The guys also go into some detail about the woodland management reasons for housing the pigs in this part of the woods and plans for the future.

    If you have any questions about the contents of this episode then send them to us or jump onto our forum and ask Alistair directly.

    02: Wrapping up the growing season - with Karl
    Oct 30 2023
    In this episode Richard introduces you to Karl, our tame grower of vegetables in Norwich, England. We recorded this back at the beginning of October, as the main harvesting season was reaching its end and preparations for winter/next year began. The successes and failures of this past year are discussed, alongside some of the difficulties of growing on an allotment and a small amount of their history in the UK.
