Fat Pig Farm

We love this stunning shot of the pigs enjoying a late supper on a glorious summer’s eve. Thanks for the beautiful capture Em, 📸@daffodil_hill

Have you seen our special Christmas hamper? We wouldn’t mind this one under the tree ourselves this Christmas, especially this special bottle from Charles Oates Distilling of Fine Apple Brandy. Carefully distilled in small batches, this Apple Brandy captures the pure apple flavours and aromas of pristine fruit grown in the misty valleys of Tasmania. This special single cask release has been aged in a 120 L hand-selected Muscat barrel. It expresses rich and complex aromas of dried muscatels, cocoa and vanilla bean in combination with lifted fine apple notes. This rare and special spirit is best enjoyed by an open fire on a cold winter’s night.. To sip your tipple, two hand made cups by local ceramic artist Ian Clare, and a jewel of a Christmas cake from a recipe Mrs Kinsmore generously handed across the fence. Head to our website, visit the shop to get your delivered in time for Christmas #fatpigfarmhamper #tassiechristmas #productofthehuon #charlesoatesfineapplebrandy

I've always thought the strawberry seeds on the outside of the fruit were dormant, and to get new plants you collect runners (or more sensibly buy disease free runners from a grower). But look at this berry. It seems to have sprouted from all its tiny little seeds! Anybody know if this is common? We've not noticed it before.
