    i'll have a look thanks, we have probably used 5t of hazel this winter as firewood, brilliant stuff. we just like to know if there is other uses though before burning it. dont get me wrong though, Hazel is a cracking firewood

    Hi all, We're hedgerow coppicing and have come to a few large Hazels, with 35-40 stems coming from each stump. Obviously the stems are a variety of lengths, some a arrow straight, some are not. We normally try to keep any hedgerow timber over 2" for firewood and we'll do the same with this if there is no other use for it. Just seems a shame, as like i say some is lovely and straight. Will walk up there later and get some photos. Thanks for any suggestions

    fantastic thread Charlie and I will be watching it and participating with interest. This is my 3rd year now of working for a farmer and doing his hedgerow coppicing for him, also each year he marks a few trees for us. We currently use an agent for woodland advice but it is something im becoming more and more interested in and am starting to enjoy it more then the farming itself at times. As well as reading material, can knowledgeable folk let me know of any Woodland Management short courses that are available and worth doing. MAny thanks

    There was a company at the Lincs County Show last year with a de-mount camper on a pick up on their stand. We had a look at it and was very impressed with the finish and space it had inside. Cant remember the company name though

    Hi All, I have a selection of sausages and lion chops for sale over the weekend, this is what is left over from the 6 woodland pigs we had killed on monday, anyone fancy some quality pork please pop round for a cuppa and bring some cash
  14. farmer_ben
    I dont think so Peter, Hullsmill has beaten you too it. But if you are interested in some, pm me your number and if we have anyone let us down today i will call you. We will have individual packs of chops, sausages and maple cured bacon available for a while if thats of interest?
  15. farmer_ben
    no worries, could you be tempted by a quarter?
  16. farmer_ben
    Lee, will be at least 20kgs, more like 25kgs. The smallest pig was 42kgs dw 3 were 55kgs dw and 2 were over 60kgs dw. All the quarters and halves will be similar

    I have been let down and now have 3/4 of a pig available if anyone is interested. To be collected tomorrow from near Clare, £85 a quarter or £155 half. Oxford Sandy & Black breed, reared in mature woodlands, very happy pigs and will be great meat. PM if interested. Sorry Steve if this thread is a tad cheeky, but really need this gone tomorrow as we have no storage on the farm

    Rob that cant be right? Majority of villages around my part of suffolk dont have a shop, and a high percentage dont have a pub either but i'd happily say they are villages and not hamlets!
  20. farmer_ben
    village and parish magazines are by far the best way of advertising imo, and a good website
  21. farmer_ben
    Unfortunately not
  22. farmer_ben
