Boxing Day saw us all having brisk refreshing walks on the beach at Exmouth or up on Exmoor.

The stock were to feed, and that gave a chance for more tractor driving lessons for young cousins! A lunchtime snack was perfect cheeses. Once again we knew they would be perfect, because they came from Elise and Gary at Country Cheeses www.countrycheeses.co.uk. We have had complete faith in their skill as artisan cheesemongers for many years now. By late afternoon, the wood oven was in action again, and this time to bake one of our cooked hams, with plenty of  our honey glaze to spoon over. The result was as mouth-watering as it was gorgeous to look at!It always conjures up visions of our saddleback pigs in the cider apple orchards - foraging for windfalls in the dappled sunlight.  They grow slowly and the ham was meltingly soft and full of the moist deliciousness. .. . . with a crispy coating - there were many murmurs of complete satisfaction around the big table. Really good food makes a really special occasion.

We have had many very positive comments about our turkeys, hams, beef and ducks and geese. They are always very welcome and give us all a real boost. Â Many of our customers and their guests have declared the Pipers Farm ham or turkey or ribs of beef as the best they have ever eaten. Â For all of us in the Pipers Farm team, that is special indeed.
