My Bio At the age of seventeen I set up my own farming enterprise despite not coming form a farming family. During the next six years I trained as a butcher and worked in an abattoir to support the development of my business. I supplied rare breed lamb to numerous restaurants nationwide, including ten Michelin Starred, farm shops and distinguished individuals. At the end of 2013 I decided to sell my farm and \\\"retire\\\" from farming for the time being. While I was farming I became involved with media, radio and television and I\\\'ve decided to take my knowledge of food and food production and apply it to those areas. Consumers in the UK are bombarded with information on how to cook and eat their food but there\\\'s very little information regarding what it is, how it was produced and where our food comes from. It\\\'s my ambition to change that! Find me on Twitter: www.twitter.com/GarethBarlow Read my Blog: www.garethbarlow.wordpress.com

Well Hung

Before tackling meat and different foods it seems prudent to look at how it’s stored and the impact that has on the product making the shelves and our plates. Whilst youths hanging around on street corners irks many a politician it’s certainly for the best if you can afford the time (and money) to allow your meat to hang...
