For the caring carnivore: http://www.forheavenstake.com/ (I stayed on their farm a while ago. It's rather nice.)

Isn't the phrase 'caring carnivore' a bit inaccurate. Surely if you're caring then you wouldn't be a carnivore.

I disagree. I can care for animals well and still eat them. The sheep I killed last winter had a good life and a very quick ( although a bit messy ) death.

If we're advertising you can buy the very best Greenham Common range reared beef from us. Our cattle live outside all year round and get fed extra hay only when the weather is bad or the fresh food supply is low. PM me for details.

I suppose it's people like you, Ken, that might benefit from teaming up with these guys, if you have a surplus you can't sell easily (which I guess is unlikely).

A local chap is coming to the Orchard to ferret out (literally) the rabbits that are gnawing the tree bark. I think he sells the resulting rabbits at a pop-up market at the University campus. Sadly, I've yet to catch said market in its popped-up state.

I really wish someone'd be able to do the same for the wood-pigeons on the plots.

You have to look on the bright side: all the said animals get to be well-fed and to avoid the slow carnage of old age.

Does he also sell ducks and geese there?

No, he wouldn't dare :lol:

They probably go to Sheffield or somewhere.
