Hello, I’m Reggie and I’m the voice of local food. That's because I’m your voice. When you Reggie-ster (sorry) on this site, you will be able to get involved in helping promote and share what's great and sometimes, what's not so great about the food that's produced and sold around you. And, by shopping locally, with local suppliers you will also help the local economy.
We were recommended to this local organic poultry farm by neighbours in the village and we were not disappointed. The service was excellent and the turkey we bought was first class at a very reasonable price. I have spoken to several other local people who have bought from the farm and apart from one lady who slightly squeamish over seeing geese in a pen waiting to be despatched and dressed when she picked up her own bird, (what does she expect to see on a farm that rears and slaughters its own birds?) we have heard nothing but praise for the operation.
Recently had a proper sunday lunch that featured organic f.r. chicken from Swillington Organic Farm a farm that I’ve been meaning to try. Roasted it plain with butter and salt sprinkled liberally on skin to crisp it up. Wow, very favourable. like chicken is supposed to taste! The meal was complimented by some nice veg bought from the small farm shop on site. There’s a veg garden sort of opposite the farm shop car, in a walled garden. nice friendly person behind the counter in the shop.
These guys are amazing! I get all my meat from there farm shop in Downpatrick. They really know what they are talking about, the butcher also keeps the animals so he is very knowledgeable on every aspect of the meat. An absolute expert in his field. I have never tasted pork and beef like it, properly hung, butchered meat. I also would go NO WHERE ELSE for my Christmas Turkey and Ham. They have a great online website too, which I order from when I can get down.
Having tried the Cleveland, Romany,Royal Garlic and Pork and Leek Sausages I think i can say with confidence that these sausages are the best yet ! They aren't an addition to a meal, these are the the meat to which you would add the vegetables to make a very substantial meal. No fat or grease, just pure meat and good taste. No leftovers when these are served! So good we travel from seaton carew to buy them !
I just received a tasting box from Foodisan - a box full of loveliness! I am a the ultimate foodie and i love gourmet gifts, this was the perfect present for me to discover and taste different artisan food samples on a monthly basis...I wanted to spread the word as this is a very unique gift and is definitely worth trying :-)
