Fat Pig Farm

Probably the most important thing about our feasts is sharing food at a long table. CoVid has made us change this up a little but we have been joyfully astonished at how much our guests still chat and laugh with each other. It seems that you no longer need to share from the same plate to share conversation. You can do it across space and vases of flowers. We just listened to an excellent Gastropod episode about how sharing food makes us human. When we share meals we discover what we share as humans and we discover and create a commonality that overcomes the tiny differences which often threaten to derail us. It also, by the way, releases endorphins. You literally get high just from sharing a dining table. And the best bit is that it works over video - not quite as well, but well enough that a zoom dinner party is on the cards. Highly recommend the podcast and while you’re there, the episode on whether we can feed the world through urban farms and community gardens is also well worth a listen. You’ll find it if you pop gastropod podcast into your search engine/podcast app. Have a beaut day!

Here we go again! It’s the final week for the Hanging Garden Grocer market @inthehanginggarden for the foreseeable future so we’ve pulled out all the beefy stops. Chunky beef pies, luxurious bone broth and free range tallow will be available from our stall this week. We’re also bringing the classics such as rillettes, salami, apple wood smoked bacon and the list goes on!

You can find us there all day on Saturday so come and say g’day :)

If you haven’t been down to check it out, there’s a wonderful collective of local producers and growers to choose from. A massive thanks to @themeatroom @yolandapeas @jocookfood and all the crew who helped pull it all together.

See you there!
