"Linda and I just wanted to say "THANKS" for such an outstanding experience this year. The finale of our POAT experience was doing the butchery and Danny was simply terrific, he has a great sense of humour, and is a real asset!

Our year of POAT'ing has been remarkable and wonderful. We have thoroughly enjoyed meeting everyone and seeing at first hand what an enormous amount of thought, planning and sheer hard work goes into producing such excellent meat and to the continued development and growth of the Peelham 'vision'. As someone who grew up in the country and comes from a strong Irish farming background, meeting you all was a genuine pleasure - it is obvious to see the total commitment to slow food, to quality produce and to sharing your passion with others. Your infectious enthusiasm together with the food itself makes a truly winning combination.

Courtesy of 'Rasher' (not a very original name, but we did want to keep the end product in mind!), we have already tried the sausages, spare ribs and the Cotechino (all very tasty), and successfully rendered fat (with apple, pepper etc.) to make some lovely pure Strutto.

Part of our motivation of joining POAT was to let our youngest son, who enjoys cooking and food (lots of it!), appreciate what lies behind the production of quality food and there is no doubt that his eyes have been opened. Thank you also for allowing him the experience of participating, albeit briefly, in this year's lambing - it has added to his determination to continue his dream of studying veterinary medicine.

I know that lots of people say 'thanks' and deservedly compliment you all, but it is always nice to have yet more encouragement in any walk of life, so a BIG thank you from the Mullins family: we are converts, supporters and, we hope, friends.
