our outdoor, happy tamworth pigs went to the Dark Side this week and will probably be back from butcher next week.

thinking of selling some boxes of mixed products - pork, bacon, ham - pm me if interested so i can gauge interest.

Have you tried putting cards in local shops and supermarkets.  Worked for us.

no, great idea, but no 'local' shops!!

we do have village noticeboards so might pop something up there - dont want to sell too much as we love it ourselves, but would like to at least try and cover some of our costs this time round

Once people taste decent pork they will never get enough so better start hiding some away for yourselves.  :D

I was thinking of a card in the local post office but didn't think I could advertise with no meat cert?

I dont know the rules there, over here they use the local Anglo Info web sites to sell.
