The annual stripping of the bird. Not only did this 4.8kgπ¦feed 9, but we have a dinner plate piled high for the freezer plus a plate of scraps for the dog too. It always amazes me the quantity of meat on the bird other than the breast meat. #foodwaste #Foodie #turkey #leftovers

Some of the region's turkey farmers are predicting a bumper Christmas as the 'rule of six' pushes up demand... and the number of dinners!

Just been stripping my bird....π¦π. If you are willing to get stuck in there is sooo much meat all over the turkey, not just breast meat. Plenty for us, plenty of scraps, skin & fat for the dog, and not much for the green waste. #turkey, #Leftovers #christmas #food #foodie

David and Sally took a moisture test of the Spring Barley this morning - at 15.1% we are good to go!
We are combining Propino malting barley, which will be used to make beef & whisky. The straw will also be baled by Mentmore Park Farms and used for our livestock. #farm24
