Welcome.

Welcome to our website. We will be using this site to record progress as we create our smallholding.

Why Ginger & Blacks?

Well, our first chickens which we kept in the back garden were coloured ginger or black and together this seemed a good name for our venture.

Our Smallholding Adventure.

We're James and Diana, occasionally helped by James' teenage son, Max.

For many years we have grown our own vegetables and kept chickens for eggs on allotments and in our garden but inspired by the likes of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall (in the early River Cottage days) and a feeling that we needed to do something different with our lives we started our search for some suitable land. Now, several years later, we have finally bought several acres in the North Buckinghamshire countryside and the hard work can begin!

We intend to produce good quality, wholesome food for sale using traditional methods and to raise animals to the highest welfare standards with rare breeds as our first choices. Keep checking the "What's Available" page for details.
