More mulberries this year

Low sun over Grange con

Potato cakes!, wood from the farm, spuds from the garden.

If the Fox’s fail and the Bresse prevail….. I may drop down one to you in springtime (why does that sound like the beginning of a ballad?)

Hi Diane, are you using any particular breed of chicken for your recipe?

Pardon my curiosity but as I’m on attempt 3 of my burgeoning La Bresse Gauloise backyard breeding plan and have yet to sample what the local foxes seem to find a delicacy - I’m starting to think shop bought might be easier!

Hand holding a freshly laid goose egg

Weird for the end of August in Ireland ! My goose just laid an egg (normally does this in March)

While I wondered if it was climate change or…. The fact that the fox made off with her goslings in June….. turns out embden’s just do that sometimes
