Sheila Dillon visits Chris and Sharon Peacock at their farm in Cockerham, Lancashire.

Sheila Dillon visits Chris and Sharon Peacock at their farm in Cockerham, Lancashire, where the couple are planning to expand their herd of 300 Boer goats.

Mrs Damaris James makes goat meat pepper soup at the 805 Restaurant on London’s Old Kent Road.

Sheila Dillon is joined in the studio by food writer Nada Saleh, author of Seductive Flavours of the Levant and Fresh Moroccan  and Alan Mowlem, goat expert, and former research scientist at the National Institute for Research in Dairying.

Reporter Dilly Barlow meets Lyn Beaney from Holly Park Organics, a smallholding near Rye who have reared 30 goats to produce unpasteurised yoghurt, milk and cheese. 

We talk to Sharon and Chris Peacock who run a 23 acre farm outside Cockerham in Lancashire rearing British Boer meat goats, specifically for the table.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
