Glebe Farm Our organic pork supplier is taking a week off but they will be back soon.

Lowering Food Miles
"Much of the mileage connected with food comes from our journeys to the supermarket" says Roger White of Somerset Local Food Direct. "Getting into the habit of ordering on line and having food delivered each week can save a lot of fuel and time. It is also easier to avoid buying things that you did not really need." he added. At the Frome Green Fair at the Cheese and Grain Hall on Sunday 6th July between 10am and 4pm there will be lots of ideas for lowering carbon emissions, including Somerset's (and bits of Dorset and Wiltshire) own local food delivery service. "Sourcing from local producers also saves miles. There is so much we can do to make a difference but changes in attitudes and habits are necessary." Further information can be found on

More from Olive Farm
Dave Paul´s unpasteurised Guernsey milk continues to be popular and he has now added fruited yogurts and fruit smoothies to his range. They are absolutely delicious and worth a try.
