Smoked garlic is HERE

So, if you would like a small handprinted bag of smoked garlic or a rather sexy grappe of smoked garlic, hie thee to the shop and make your order. Then we’ll get the oak and vine and cherry wood chippings out and load the wardrobe up for you.

It has been an incredible summer so far. We’ve had endless visitors including our mums, plus lots of happy volunteers. It’s like a meeting of the cossie club, only with cicadas, donkey-band and MUD. We’ve made huge progress in starting to rebuild our poor old collapsed mud brick barn.
