Glad I live in a rural area and near a market town. A lady has a market stall there specialising in high quality local cheese. It's worth the extra money I spend vs whats in the supermarket. Same with bacon, ham, sausages and cuts of meat. The butcher will either buy a few cattle from the local market or buy some stock from the local organic farms. Our main local farm has a healthy supply of slop including Barley mash from the local brewery to feed the pigs on.

I'm going to plant more vegetables this year now i think we've had the last frost. I'm also going to have a go at more canning in the autumn.
