Food, Fun and Education

Food is the best medicine we can get. 

And yet, today on average, around 60% of most people's daily calories come from industrially produced, edible substances.
 
You don't need to eat this industrial ‘Frankenstein food’ that makes us all sick.
 
Join us and get immersed in nature, learn where real food comes from, and how easy it is to produce your own.  All with Oxfordshire’s antidote to modern life, supermarkets and the internet!

The most iconic symbol of the outdoors in the UK without a doubt is deer. These majestic and beautiful mammals are a sight to behold in their natural surroundings.

It should come as no surprise that with our love of all things nature we live on our own small holding alongside poultry, waterfowl, turkey, ferrets, a working lurcher and our horse.

Why Join Our Events?

"If there are people out there so backwards to still be subsisting on food found in nature, Big Food will find them, by land or by sea, and set them straight."

 

Michele Simon, a public health lawyer, wrote in AlterNet in 2010

In simple terms, you shouldn’t need us. Food should just be food. The sad fact is that for those of us who live in the UK, a significant amount of the food we eat isn’t actually food!

The pre-packaged food companies, with multi billion pound turnovers don’t care about you, your health, your children’s health or your mental well-being.

So, what has changed for the majority of people in the UK?  Marcus and Erin are only one generation separate from their Grandparents, a generation that produced its own food, in abundance, and at low cost?

What people say?

"After several unsuccessful attempts to keep rabbits out of horse’s fields, we took the difficult decision that it was time to control the booming population.

 

We were introduced to Marcus and his team as a traditional method to control pests. His knowledge and passion for his craft and the professionalism shown on his first visit eased our reluctance. He has allowed us to be as involved as we are comfortable with. He has continued to happily answer any questions we throw at him, including the many questions of an inquisitive 7-year-old.

 

We have gradually reduced the number of rabbits, which has led to less leg breaking holes appearing in fields. Every rabbit caught is used as meat by Marcus for his family and his animals.

 

He has earned his title of “our game keeper”.
