What's new at Windshiel

Sharon Baker

A new year......a new intention

Christmas Day saw the arrival of 13 new piglets, thanks to new Mum Sausage, who is doing a great job with them.  They now have free range of the farm yard and are ready to go up the hill with Mum to a new outdoor pen.  In the meantime they are getting up to mischief and enjoying a rare sunbathe in the cow's hay!


Next job on the horizon is sheep scanning.  The tups went out in early November and with scanning will come the moment of truth!   Hopefully all have worked well and we can look forward to a good, healthy crop of 2023 lambs.


Can't wait for the mornings to get a bit lighter and the days to get a bit longer.


Our first market of the year will be on Saturday 4th February at Brighton Park, Portobello, Edinburgh.  It will be good to see our regulars again after the break and to supply them with some quality meat from the farm.  Mutton seems to be in demand, with plenty pre-ordered.  As usual we'll have fresh lamb, pork, mutton, bacon & gammon, along with frozen beef.  Deliveries of meat can be made locally within 15 miles of the farm, free for orders over £30.  We can also courier meat anywhere in the UK for a charge of £8.
