Dates for truffle-dog trials and mini truffle-fest

This year the truffle-dog-training-school (Truffle Hunters) is planning the first ever Great
British truffle-
dog-trials. With a long history of harvesting wild truffles, it’s amazing that we’ve never had such an event before. The trials are tentatively booked for the 17th of August 2008 (although this may be subject to change). There will also be two cultivation workshops and fresh truffles on sale!

    Some very exciting news- earlier this autumn we received photos from our welsh plantation showing a very distinct ‘brûlé’. A brûlé is a burnt-looking patch of ground, devoid of vegetation underneath the tree caused by the truffle fungus- these normally take several years to appear and signal imminent onset of fruiting of the truffle. This is particularly exciting as they have appeared on around 70-80% of trees planted last winter! With an average age of 9months (from planting), these results are every exciting indeed,
