FARM TO FORK If you have tasted our home grown outdoor Saddleback pork youβll know what I mean when I say βit tastes like what pork should taste like!β Have to say itβs down to Grant and his animal husbandry. This picture shows how every pig is fed to the exact way they like it, with the buckets laid out in an order that he knows! Did you know pigs hate leeks and onions but give them an iceberg lettuce & some bananas and theyβll love you for it πππ₯¬π π π #outdoorpork #eastlothianmeat #eastfortunefarm #saddlebackpigs #goodfarmingpractices #highwelfaremeat #highwelfarefarming #buydirectmeat #farmfreshmeat #supportlocalscotland #supportlocal #keepusinbussiness #madeineastlothian #farmtotable @scotfooddrink @fooddrinkcounty

What gets a farmer excited?π€ Well for Grant this week itβs the anticipation of waiting to taste his own home reared pure Hampshire Down winter lamb due in our farmshop this Friday! π Grant loves getting the bbq out and even more cooking with our meats. The boys are definitely following in his footsteps as Ritchie is a lamb chop man every time! Our great friends @williamstonefarmsteadings cooked up some of our lamb racks over Easter weekend on the bbq, they would have tasted awesome! π πΈ thanks Steph and Ryan for your fab photos x . . . . . #thebrandfamily #thebrandfamilyfarm #brandslarder #winterlambing #eastfortunefarm #eastfortune #hampshiredown #lamb #instafood #instafoodie #chef #lovebbqseason #farmerthatcooks #eastlothianfoodanddrink #farmtofork #farmtotable #thisisus #ourstory #farmlife #ourlife #ourfamily #hampshiredownsheep #lamb #lovelocal
