Hi everyone our names are Andrew & Julie and we are currently living in HIghamFerrers, Northants with our two children Oliver & Maisie but hoping to move back to Cambridgeshire in the near future to start our own small-holding. We have been looking for approx. 2 years for the right piece of land and are still looking!!! We have a large plot where we currently liveand grow all our own fruit & veg and have 10 chickens, a barn owl, 2 cats and varioius other indoor animals. We are part of the Fenland Goat & Smallholders Association (which is fantastic, very welcoming, great people with a wealth of knowledge).

We have just started our own business making homemade sausages and are currently sourcing our meat wholesale from Cash & Carry (half a pig at a time). The business has taken off and we are now looking to purchase pigs to take to slaughter. I have placed a forum question regarding a CPH no if anyone can help me.

Thanks for reading.
