Rare breed pigs, jammy gems & fruity fripperies, home-reared and hand-made on Dartmoor. 🐷🍓🍋🍴#greedypigspantry

Some omimous rumbles & crashes coming across the moor just now. I think I'll get my feeding and egg-collecting duties finished early today. #thunderrumbles #summerstorms #donnerundblitz #dartmoor #greedypigspantry

Yup, feeling a bit like these chaps. Under normal circumstances I'd have spent the evening packing the trusty Hilux with a miscellany of camping gear and a small off-licence's worth of booze in preparation for the annual pilgrimage to @cropredyfestival. Not so much today, in this ghastly C-19 world of new normal. #newnormalsucks #johnhilderceramics #dragons #cropredy #cropredy2020 #cropredy2020ticketholder #backwithavengeancein2021 #dartmoor #greedypigspantry

Oh, my good godfathers, that is blinkin' unbelievable - particularly on a day as hot as today. This is a total game-changer... and probably presages a rapid descent into full-on Mr Creosote territory. Nom. #dartmoor #greedypigspantry

Chickens fed, pigs belly-scratched, honeybees counted and all's right with the world. #blessed #dartmoor #greedypigspantry

Okay, for the time being at least, I'd say our heatwave is over... #dartmoor #monsoonweather #greedypigspantry

Yes, yes, I probably could do with some fresh water, now you come to mention it. Thanks, mister. #crazyhotweathwer #copingadmirably #tamworthtowers #dartmoor #greedypigspantry

Whoop whoop! The weekend has landed and, along with it, another delivery from the splendid @wildhartvenison. Cannot recommend their produce highly enough - every last morsel is delicious. Frank gives them a thumbs-up too! #wildvenison #wildhartvenison #buylocal #sustainable #ethical #dartmoor #greedypigspantry

That worrying moment when you realise the banger of an album you bought only a few weeks ago with your Saturday job wages actually entered your record collection thirty-eight years ago. #robertplant #picturesateleven #sadoldhippy #dartmoor #greedypigspantry

You're late with the afternoon feed. Don't let it happen again. #vocalpigs #hungryporkers #tamworthtowers #dartmoor #greedypigspantry

Ah, right. Upon reflection, perhaps the de-stoning of cherries for our yuletide cherry brandy should have been a kitchen job. The table on the deck now looks like the scene of an alien autopsy. #messy #cherrybrandy #yuletideprep #dartmoor #greedypigspantry

Hmm, kinda glad that we have mist netting over the brassica bed. Our cabbages and cauliflowers absolutely do not need new friends - particularly of this variety. #tortoiseshells #dartmoor #greedypigspantry

Don't normally name paddock residents; however, this chap's clearly going to be called Arfur from now on - simply because he's half a brown pig and half a ginger pig. #tamworthpigs #tamworthtowers #dartmoor #greedypigspantry

Oh good grief. Saturday evening steak overload from the incredible @beardondexters. Being total gluttons we decided to scoff both the flat-iron and sirloin steaks that we bought earlier on today and are now entirely, and happily, stuffed. #beardondexters #chasemyrump #dartmoor #greedypigspantry

So it has turned out to be one of these days. What on earth convinced me that a sultry, high twenties Friday would be the right time to start lopping hedges? Sheesh. #hotandbothered #hedgetrimming #wolftools #dartmoor #greedypigspantry

Keeping it nice and simple tonight - @creedycarver duck legs on a bed of puy lentils. Cannot wait. #tummyrumbles #creedycarver #roastduck #lovelentils #keepitsimple #dartmoor #greedypigspantry

Uh-oh... Seemingly far too many drones and no sign

Uh-oh... Seemingly far too many drones and no sign of any egg-laying going on in the brood chamber. I suspect that her majesty has either thrown a seven or scarpered. Either way, the situation needs some rapid resolution - time to don the grovelling hat and start begging local beekeepers to let me have a frame of fresh eggs & larvae. #beekeeping #stressful #dartmoor #greedypigspantry

The last of the 2019 leg joints, sitting on a trivet of carrots, bay leaves, garlic & onions and liberally sprinkled with Borgo de' Medici black truffle salt. Into a hot oven for twenty minutes and then down low for several hours. Mr Johnson's anti-C19 weight loss regime clearly does not start today. #tamworthpigs #homereared #organicallyfed #dartmoor #greedypigspantry

Hens & pigs fed and watered, truck loaded with a ton of junk for the tip, tea in bed for the current Mrs Greedy Pig followed by breakfast and The Archers omnibus. Next stop, pork belly into bacon cure, make bread, Sunday roast into a long & low oven then inspect the bee hive. I'm on fire this morning! Surely there's a lunchtime pint of Dartmoor Legend in the offing? #homebaked #homecured #dartmoorlegend #greedypigspantry

Never mind about them blinkin' pigs, where's our late afternoon corn ration? #alwayshungry #hentopia #dartmoor #greedypigspantry

Bit of a gloomy start to the day; however, let's not let that get in the way of breakfast and a good old rootle about the place. #tamworthpigs #dartmoor #greedypigspantry

The joys of a midweek long lunch with friends that we haven't seen since the start of lockdown. A blazing hot day, alfresco dining on the terrace and a delicious lunch, the proportions of which make supper seem entirely superfluous. Splendid. #postlockdowndining #watermansarms #ashprington

Early evening kitchen prep and it turns out that making a roux and turning it into a real rib-sticker of a mac n cheese sauce takes precisely side one of Reggatta de Blanc. Less time than I imagined. #fortyyearoldalbum #reggattadeblanc #thepolice #macncheese #dartmoor #greedypigspantry
