Well this is DAY 1 of the pig in mud blog.

We are a mad family that consists of Joe (hubby) Hungarian born but now uk citizen. Heidi (me-- mom) Andre my very resposible 9 yr old boy Louis the joker 8yrs old and Lily 4yrs old very soon. An extremely pink little girl going on 14yrs...lol

My children are all allergic to bad e additives in food. So we decided to try and be more and more self sufficient. So far weve been successful with Pork, Bacon, Sausage, Hams, Dexter beef, herbs, etc this years plan is beekeeping, aquiring a house cow and producing some dairy products and we have to get a veg patch sorted, now that the pigs have done there work on the soil. 

We home educate our children and we are award winning caterers using as much of our beautifull produce as we can. On the side im writing about our exploits on our little farm and hope to publish a book. 

We call our pig products "Pig in Mud!" and food made with love is our slogan.

I have decided to consetrate on Heritage vegitables and fruit selling heritage fruit and veg boxs from our farmgate and on the net, that will comprise of fresh in season flavoursome products. Using old varieties from Victorian times.

So what did we do down on the farm today...

We made a new pig house for Mini pig she is a Kune Kune, she had Kune Kune x Pietrain (Belgium Blue) piglets. Mini pig suprised us all by giving birth to a litter of 5 stunning little ones. Andre stayed up all night with her and helped her when she was having difficulties. He wants to be a vet when he grows up. They are all doing well and its time for them to have a large electric fenced off area. We use special pig netting thats backed up with a solid fence behind it so they quickly learn respect for it.

Tommorow we will put the finishing touches to it and then move them all in. Well i think thats enough for my first go at blogging, im not too good with computors and this is really stretching me, will have to press the publish tab and see if ive been as clever as i think.... so here goes......
