It was a week of frantic activity following Butch's last journey. Just as well really that Lily and Precious decided that September was not a good month for delivering piglets! In fact, it looks like Lily won't be delivering for many a month. But that's another story.....Back to Butch. There were numerous trips to be made by the Boss - to and from the butcher, the smoker and the label maker. Products to be collected, bottled, wrapped and labeled.
And then there was the Open Day on Sunday to prepare for. 
More products to be cooked, prepared and presented.
It was all a bit hectic.
We shared our Open Day date with every other Curly Coat owner in Lincolnshire and just about every Visitor Attraction too so we were delighted to welcome the 30 or so adults and children who turned up at Rectory Reserve. 
And they seemed equally delighted to sample the delicacies laid out for them ---- "New" cold- and hot-smoked sausages, brawn and other tasty treats. A good time was had by all - not least the pigs who, as usual, lapped up the attention. Most importantly, pre-sold sausages were collected and and orders placed for the new lines.
Next Open Day, 26 October, when we hope to show off Precious's first litter (as well as have more 'new' lines available for the discerning gourmets locally!)
