25.01.2022 Enjoy your week everyone!

25.01.2022 I was having a chat with a 7 year old the other day, and he asked, "What's your favourite meat?" My answer was obviously "Bacon." "And what's your favourite of all food?" He asked as if my favourite meat wasn't going to be a contender.... "Er... bacon." I answered calmly. There was a slight skewing of the face as he dug deep for another. "What's your favourite colour then?" "Bacon." I dead-panned. "It can't be!!" The boy yelled. Without even looking up I explained."Of course it can. The walls of this house are cream, just like the cream from a cow so why couldn't bacon be a colour?" The boy guffawed, "That's ridiculous. What's your favourite fruit?" He continued, not sure whether bacon was really a colour. "Baconberry." I kinda snorted this time and the game was up. But seriously, what if I told you there was a magical food that's key players include succulent pork belly, minced pork shoulder and rashers of bacon. If you've got these ingredients from your own farm raised pork, I'm sure you could try your hand at an elegant and very simple terrine. Common flavours that often accompany a terrine are duck or chicken, orange, cranberries and the best ones let you crack open that brandy. Any excuse on a cool evening Have you made terrine? We'd love to know how you make yours. Does it have a secret ingredient... We won't tell

23.01.2022 How good is the rain? Are you souping in this weather...

23.01.2022 Last few days of the school holidays... The reason we can't wait for Monday is our desire for them to get a top education... it has nothing to do with... ah, I'm digging a hole here I feel I can't get out of, so I'll stop.

23.01.2022 What d'ya reckon this Wagyu came in at... Who wants to have a guess at the weight?

23.01.2022 300kg just outside Tenterfield - Now if NSW could breed their league players like they breed their cattle we might just have a competition - just saying #origin #qlder #gomaroons and keep trying #uptheblues

21.01.2022 We made it... Now go and enjoy that weekend!

20.01.2022 A lean Belted Galloway here in Applethorpe... the droughts been rough on everyone.

20.01.2022 What's on this weekend everyone? If this rain would hurry up and actually doing something, we could snuggle up and enjoy a lovely pork belly with super crispy crackling and a zesty apple sauce Fine, don't rain then... I'm still doing the pork belly! Ok, so what I reckon is if we could all go and hang some washing out... then "forget" to bring it in, she should absolutely pour down... whadya reckon? ... Have a great weekend everyone and if you haven't already, donate to our farmers. Actually, the Stanthorpe Showgrounds Markets, this Sunday 26th August, have collections of non-perishable food items, toiletries and wet/dry dog food for those working dogs. If you're going past, check it out a bring something along for them.

20.01.2022 Home made bread, home raised chook, home made bacon .... best club sandwich ever!

20.01.2022 Can you have too much of a good thing?

19.01.2022 How would you like 5 minutes to fill your trolley with $1000 worth of stuff at Spanos IGA? Thats a lot of condiments to go with my eye fillet, slow braised pork shoulder and lamb cutlets Seriously though, do yourself a favour and get a few tickets. Youre supporting this wonderful little school. Available down at the Market in the Mountains, Stanthorpe Showgrounds, and after the holidays from IGA. Well keep you posted.

19.01.2022 It's not getting super cold, but the days are kind of not warming up so by 5 or 6, it's starting to feel like casserole o'clock. Something I never would have though to make is pig in a pumpkin... and the only reason I looked it up is stumbling across this photo of Charlotte, devouring this award winning pumpkin after the Stanthorpe Show. We're not taking credit for this recipe in anyway... but will definitely be trying it. The recipe is care of Chef John of the Food Wishe...s Blog. 1.5-2kg of home raised (if possible) pork shoulder 1 Tbsp salt 2 tsp ground pepper 1/4 tsp cayenne 1/2 tsp thyme 1 tsp crushed fennel seeds 1 Tbsp rosemary 1/3 cup shallots 2 Tbsp flour 1 Tbsp olive oil 1 Queensland Blue or Kent pumpkin 2 cups of cider < alcoholic of course See comments for the method

19.01.2022 Another massive week down... enjoy your weekend everyone!

18.01.2022 Hey did you hear about that new restaurant opening up on the moon? We heard the food was amazing, but it just lacks atmosphere... We know, it's super bad but thought you'd all like something to get you through Monday - now go make this week a great one!!

18.01.2022 Cant decide what to eat? Sometimes you just need to eat whats left in the kitchen... lucky theres always tasty stuff in the kitchen

16.01.2022 It amazes me every time we cook up a heritage breed rooster... the colour is amazing, thigh on the right and breast on the left. Chicken soup weather is definitely upon us.

16.01.2022 Beautiful rolled rib roast for Bill Brown - hey thanks Bill for all you do here in the region. Apple & Grape forever!!

15.01.2022 It might be winter, but as we dream of warmer weather, just thought we'd share these Summer BBQ Etiquette Tips PS. We'd change # 10 to: Don't be a vegan And if that's ignored, change # 3 to: Definitely bring up controversial subjects... like Flaws of Veganism ... https://bestlifeonline.com/summer-bbq-etiquette-mistakes/

14.01.2022 Belted Galloway. Neville arrived at the start of the drought, and produced some lean beef. This rib fillet was surprisingly tender, juicy and taste amazing... I guess the key is in the cooking. With the cool weather we have here, you can take your steaks out early. Bring them to room temperature and cook rare for the best flavour and texture combination.

14.01.2022 Just a quick day in the life of the Farm Butchers, out on the road on the Granite Belt and Southern Downs... realised this video's on our website but hadn't added it to Facebook. :)

12.01.2022 Mmmm... turn on the sound and have a porky, crackly good weekend everyone.

08.01.2022 A different way to do your ribs... Best marinated overnight, so get them in the fridge now for Monday. https://www.goodhousekeeping.com//korean-marinated-countr/

07.01.2022 Somethings in the water out at Elbow Valley. More like a baby woolly mammoth

07.01.2022 ASHFORD SALAMI FESTIVAL 13TH OCTOBER 2018 | ASHFORD SHOWGROUND Pig races, fireworks, markets, food stalls, demonstrations and of course full bar!... LIKE - TAG - SHARE!

07.01.2022 Did you know that the literal translation of Charcutier is pork butcher... so next time we're out doing your pigs, please... you may call us Monsieur Charcutier Luc et Michel

06.01.2022 A bit short notice, but if a festival of pork appeals to you, Bundarra Berkshires is hosting Hogfest 2018 down near the NSW / VIC border in a couple of weeks. Looks amazing!

06.01.2022 Ah... whats your mood?

06.01.2022 What could possibly be in a $2 burger that you'd want to eat? The cheesy cheeseburger (from some place) is tiny, but packs a killer 1/4 to 1/3 of your daily recommended everything. If you're lucky enough to have some space for an animal or two, rasing your own protein is a great way to save on the grocery bills be a bit more connected to where your food comes from. You get to see, and be a part of that animals life. Talking to people that eat their own animals for the first ...time, there is a common theme that comes through. An emotion that at first feels like sadness, but is more like a thankfulness. A respect for the animal that you just wouldn't feel except from raising your own. Not everyone can do it though, we get that. But even if you've just got a suburban lot, chooks could be a great way to start. With a simple feed regime plus scraps (just check up on what not to feed then), you can raise some lovely birds for the table. Plus you get fetiliser for the veggies. Here on the Granite Belt you've got access to all sorts of meat chooks plus a wealth of knowledge. There'd be at least a couple of people in every street I reckon that could show you what you need to know. Think about it... Why don't you tell us what animals you've got in your yard.

06.01.2022 With all the recent rain many of us will see that green grass poking through, in some cases whole fields will transform into lush shaggy carpets of yummy cattle food. I remember seeing a post about this recently, but couldn't find it, so I'll summarise here, the general gist. Cattle are greedy grass guzzling machines, and will most definitely gorge on fresh grass if it's available. Bloat issues can be a real problem, and can kill in extreme cases. Fill 'em on the dry st...uff before considering giving them access to thick green pasture. Hay is available from places like Neville Produce - https://www.facebook.com/nevilleproduce/ < and no we're not getting paid , just like sharing other great local businesses. If you are ever concerned about the well being of your animals, or are new to farming, please consult an expert. There are a few around these parts, so take your pick

04.01.2022 Well, there's nothing like a self imposed social media hiatus to clear out the cobwebs. Seriously though, December is a very busy time of year plus school's out ... and it really is a great time for family. We truly hope you had a lovely Christmas and Happy New Year. Yes it's 2019 and it's time to start planning our menu for Christmas ok, ok... too soon. How about Australia Day? Let's leave the debate aside and focus on the menu. Lamb sausages, lamb burgers, lamb skewer...s with a lovely lamb salad on the side... How about kicking back with some family and friends and letting the slow cooker take care of things? Here's a great recipe that will deliver for you this 26th of January. http://ow.ly/pSXz30ncMpj Image myfoodblog.com.au

04.01.2022 Tickets available from IGA & Foxy's Bakery in Stanthorpe... don't miss out on this ripper prize!
