About thirteen years ago, Roger Human bought an old pub with an acre or so of land and fancied living off that land, so he bought some orphan sheep and goats, and started growing fruit and vegetables for consumption by his own family and his customers. Roger developed quite a reputation for his simple fine food — and what’s more, he was enjoying this way of life.
He thought he could do a bit more business with the locals and decided to buy a retail unit, and built a kind of open butcher’s shop where the general public could view his day-to-day preparation of rare-breed, locally sourced meats and his sausage making — after all, every good butcher needs to do something with off-cuts. He also brought a young pig farmer, Andrew Hudson, into the business, so they had plenty of resources and experience for their increasingly popular local business.
