We’re hiring a hardworking and enthusiastic Story Pig General Farm & Gardening Assistant (2-3 days per week or Apprentice 5 days per week).

We’re hiring a lovely Café & Front of House Supervisor (includes weekends)

We’re on the search for a valuable member of The Story Pig team to support James and Charlotte in the day to day running of café; including set up of the café, serving customers food and drinks, and tidying away at the end of the day.

These roasted ham hocks, using The Story Pig’s Tamworth free-range ham, are a delicious springtime crowd-pleaser to share with family and friends.

It’s early evening and I am sitting outside in the shade next to the tipi. The dust is streaming out of the pig ark into the sunshine as the piglets fight for
their mother’s milk – there is a constant rumpus going on as 60 piglets fight over their 6 poor mums.

Friday Pizza Nights at The Story Pig Pizzarea are becoming more popular every week with customers constantly telling Charlotte that they are the best pizzas around!

In May 2021, we opened Lavender Keepers café to the world.

After the pandemic had hit us all, we quickly changed our business model as did many others, and finally received planning permission for our Lavender Keepers café and shop.

Our vision was to create a formal garden where visitors in the future would be able to enjoy the plants and flowers all while creating a little piece of paradise.

Charlotte joined James at Lavender Keepers and from then ‘till now we have built The Story Pig together every step of the way.

In 2016, James started building Lavender Keepers. At that time, it was bare land, just a rickety old gate at the top of the road!
