Dorset's Slow Food group descended on Launceston Farm at the beginning of this month to find out more about Sarah's contribution to the slow food movement in the area. Sarah's herd of Boer/Cashmere goats are a perfect example of how meat should be produced, reared on a small scale in free-range conditions over time to produce a tasty and high quality product.The Slow Food movement is an international campaign, founded in 1986 by an Italian food and wine journalist as a backlash to 'fast food' and the way we are consumi
ng large quantities of what he saw as poorly produced, unhealthy junk food. With hundreds of members all over the world, the movement is becoming an international force for change regarding the way we produce and consume food.Visitors to the farm in May included producers and consumers who all got a chance to sample Sarah's legendary goat curry. There were also buyers for the goat skins which one lady from Eastern Europe informed me was the more traditional alternative to a hot water bottle - hopefully many cosy nights ahead!
