So pleased that I have completed the first requirement to have my orchard and fields certified with the French Organic Association. Still got quite some time to go until we can display our certificate, but so pleased that the process has begun.

Our local Boulangerie not only does wonderful bread, but on a friday night you can get the French version of a Tart, which is just like pizza but with a creamy sauce base instead of tomato. Tonight we had 2, a four cheeses with onion and one with cheese, onion and lardons.

Have decided roughly where the olive grove is going, and have discovered a wonderful company who will be suppling my trees. They should arrive around Easter and be a combination of old gnarled trees and some younger ones that will provide olives and oil for my grandchildrens children.

Just had a lovely conversation with my French neighbour Jean-Claude. He has agreed that if he can use some of my land, he will supply me with all the vegetables I can eat. When you visit it means lots of lovely home grown Fruit and veg from the Pottager and Orchard.
