E: 30/05 Pigs and Por Handbook plus half a Pipers Farm Saddleback pig.

Bloomsbury Publishing

The competition description says the prize includes a copy of the River Cottage Pigs and Pork Handbook but the t and c's describe the prize as follows:

I'm not sure how to answer the question of Where is River Cottage.
River Cottage HQ is now based in Devon but the original cottage was in Dorset so I'm not sure which to pick?

Where is River Cottage?

    don't know if this will help,


    actual address is
    River Cottage HQ, Trinity Hill Road, Axminster, EX13 8TB.


    These days River Cottage splits neatly into two.
    Our River Cottage HQ,
    found on the Devon and Dorset border,
    is home to everything we do
    https://www.rivercottage.net/find-us


    & this says
    Axminster is a market town and civil parish
    on the eastern border of the county of Devon
    in England
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axminster


    & this says
    The farm itself lies right on the border between Devon and Dorset,
    but it's just a couple of miles from Lyme Regis –
    one of the best places in the area to sample truly local Dorset fare.

    please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly. k2u58ioz4c8e.png

    The correct answer is Devon.
    I've been there and it's a good couple of miles away from the border with Dorset.

    The original cottage was, of course, in Dorset near Bridport, and so was the barn that was turned into the original River Cottage HQ. However, those have not been associated with River Cottage for a long time now.

    I do wonder whether they mean River Cottage or the farm featured which is in Devon, just north of Exeter?
    Still cracking on....
