January 5th 2012 "Hi, I dont normally write to companies to comment on their products but in this case i had to. I have tried lots of different sausages in the past. But i tried your sausages for the first time last week from Tesco and was totally blown away by the taste and texture of yours. Yours seems so much nicer than the other brands i have tried. I will try other other flavours that you produce."

Stephen Castle, Kent

January 4th 2012 "My husband and I love your sausages - best available from the limited range of gluten-free options. And reading the rest of your message board I see we are not alone in our praise! Really want to see more of your product range at our local Sainsbury's if the sausages are anything to go by. Come on Sainsbury's, get it together!"

Helen Jenkins Curtis, Twickenham

December 9th 2011. "Hello, I just wanted to take the time to tell you how much i like your products. I have tasted pretty much all of your products and they are by far the best flavoured i have ever had I never buy anything but this brand now. Thanks for all the hard work you put in to making your products so nice. :-)"

Emily Piddlington, Dorset

November 12th 2011. "First of all sending a company an e mail or SMS is not something I do but after tasting your pork sausages tonight I feel I had to. The nicest bangers we have had in years possibly ever . Congratulations on a super product the kids adored them even the wife said they were amazing and trust me she knows her pork and is not generally a fan of normal bangers for obvious reasons . They are now our sausages of choice, many thanks."

David Lacey, London

October 11th 2011. "I just wanted to let you know how much I love your sausages! They taste much better than any other brand that I've found in the supermarket, and are affordable too. You have such an inspired range. Well done on making such good products! I will, of course, continue to buy them, and look forward to trying your other products in future."

Isabella Carosi, N Yorkshire

October 10th 2011. "I am emailing you to thank you for your absolutely delicious pork sausage. Our 8 year old granddaughter Katie would also like to thank you. (Thank you!). Katie is a very fussy eater and it is very hard to please her when it comes to food. She won't eat just anything put in front of her like some kids do. (Well she does eat anything but all the wrong anythings.) The other week I was eating some of your sausage that a relative had brought for us. I have never had any before. I don't remember where she said she had it from but what mouthful I had tasted absolutely delicious. Katie asked if she could "have a little taste please" because she had never had any before either. Well. She had more than a little taste. She ate the whole flippin' lot! What could I do? I couldn't deprive a sweet little 8 year old of your tasty sausage. Because of her fussiness I of course let her have it all. Reluctantly! More fool me although it was for a good cause. Since then she doesn't want to eat any other sausage. She has but she says they aren't as good as yours. You have turned a young fussy 8 year old into someone who likes The Black Farmer Pork Sausage. Just like her grandad (who didn't get much at all!). Thank you very much for a fantastic product and a refreshing change."

Stuart Cooper, Staffordshire

July 2nd 2011. "I am not in the habit of "gushing" with praise, but I had your Dry Cured Hickory Smoked Bacon for breakfast for the first time today and it took me back to my childhood nearly fifty years ago when bacon was sliced in front of you at the butchers. What a wonderful taste! Well done and keep up the good work, I will be trying your sausages next."

Simon Mack, Hertfordshire

June 23rd 2011. "Just had to write to tell you that we've just tried your Premium Pork Sausages bought at our local Morrisons store and they were FANTASTIC! Love um, love um, love um, we won't be going back to our normal sausages."

J Russell, Nottingham - a converted sausage eater!

June 22nd 2011. "My mother said, in a kind of by-the-by, this is a FACT kind of way, as we were eating your sausages tonight "These are the best sausages in the world..." Thought you'd like to know! Haha!"

Julie Groves, via Facebook

June 15th 2011. "Hands down, your sausages are by far and away the best out there - amazing AMAZING quality. Thanks for making such fine food."

Mike Dutton, Bishops Stortford

April 30th 2011. "My daughter (Rhylie, 5) and I made this picture to show how much we like your sausages. We hope you keep making lots more and never stop making those lovely sausages."

Marc Griffiths and Rhylie Griffiths, Bristol

March 15th 2011. "Having just enjoyed another suasage meal featuring your produce, I wanted to thank you for providing coeliacs like me such a delicious range of products. Excellent flavour and quality. Thank you."

Mrs Marshall, East Yorkshire

February 16th 2011. "Thank you for your dedication to quality. I discovered your sausages just in the last couple of days and we had sausage in dry bread yesterday which wouldn't usually be anything very special and would've needed ketchup but your sausages really didn't need anything else. I am amazed how little fat drips off into the grill pan! And the sausages cook up lovely and crispy on the outside and so light and tasty in the middle :) Then we had the rest of the pack today with egg (free range), chips, mushrooms and baked beans - so yummy once again and did add some brown sauce to it all :) For years it has been difficult to find sausages over 60% pork at a decent price but yours are a good price for what you get :) I will definitely buy your sausages again and intend to try finding the bacon too and maybe the sweet cheddar."

Mrs Saunders, Lowestoft

February 14th 2011. "My sister recently tried The Black Farmers premium pork chipolatas. She told me how nice they where. As i was having my children and grand children over for dinner I thought that I would give them a try and made a toad in the hole for our dinner, and I have got to complement you on your chipolatas we all enjoyed them very much. My daughters and myself will definitely buy them again for our families. Thank you and keep up the good work in making such tasty food."

Susan Mancrief, N Yorkshire

February 9th 2011. "Just had my first ever @theblackfarmer gluten free sausages... I would say BETTER than standard sausages and way more filling!"

@KarlHumphries, Twitter

February 2nd 2011. "We tried you fantastic Sausages this week, the verdict, the best we have had from any of the Supermarkets :)"

Ian Grantham, Facebook

January 29th 2011. "As a wheat intolerant PITA your sausages are manna from heaven. Husband liked them so much he stole one of mine so many stars. Thank you. I hope you do really well!!"

Vicki Telesford, Facebook

January 24th 2011. "Just wonderful stuff. You've restored my faith in British farming, and it'd just about died out totally to the point I was searching for German stuff, at least that was good quality. A local butcher does good local bacon, but no good sausages anywhere. Greed and contempt for the British shopper from British farmers had destroyed the British sausage. (Seriously) Or did until you came along. Was a bit unsure about the name of the make, far from being against anyone because of colour. Couldn't care less about that - wondered is this one of those politically correct things I loathe so much ? Thankfully it wasn't. I hate these things normally, as they create racism where none was previously. Just a talented man, confident in his own ability and subject. I am delighted to join the line of converts, mate. Best of British, thats what you are ! (Only wish there was more of your stuff available in the North-East. More and more supermarkets are stocking your sausages though. We'll buy nothing else, and are passing on the word)."

Phil Kennedy, Tyne & Wear

January 21st 2011. " I have just eaten your chipolata sausages tonight! Lovely, I’m not coeliac but last summer I discovered my body doesn't like wheat or cows milk – such a challenge. We don’t know why yet but as time goes on its easier to find food that I can eat but its still a challenge. It was so nice to have normal food which hasn’t got rubbish in it and isn’t hiked in price because its ‘special’ ! Carry on making proper food that isnt messed about."

Jane Fox, Preston

January 11th 2011. " We recently came across 'Black Farmer' sausages in our local Budgens which we like very much. We also like the hot sauces which remind us of the time we now spend in the Caribbean. I shall look more closely at the supermarket shelves to see what else I can find."

Mrs Moore, Cirencester

January 5th 2011. "The Black Farmer sausage is by far the tastiest sausage that is on the supermarket shelves. I have tried all the premium sausages with a high meat content and none of them match the taste and texture of the Black Farmer sausage!!"

Steve Harper, Esher

December 20th 2010. "We have just had some of your Premium Pork Sausages for supper and they were delicious. My husband who farmed sheep and cattle in Scotland for 40 years thought so too and that is saying something! Keep up the good work. Your clothing range looks good too. Happy Christmas!"

Deborah Edlmann, Oxon

December 14th 2010. "I recently purchased The Black Farmers Daughter Premium pork chipolatas from my local Morrisons. I have to say they tasted superb, and my daughter and I enjoyed them very much. Well done to you! Even the caption re daughter having the sausages when she has her friends over is a nice touch, as from now on the same will apply when my daughter who is 7yrs old. These will also be on the Christmas shopping list. Can't wait to try somemore. Thank you!"

Michelle Brackin, Hertfordshire

November 24th 2010. "Just wanted to say thanks for making the best sausage ever. I have been eating sausages for 35 years and finally really enjoying them the taste and quality is brilliant. I saw them in a big supermarket and after watching your show I had to pick them. Me and my wife always buy them now...beats the local butchers anyday. Great job."

Indy Singh, Coventry

November 20th 2010. "Wilred it was great to meet you and to hear your amazing story, as well as your great understanding of where we have lost our way in realtion to food, and where it comes from. Your apporach to Gluten free food is inspring and we shall be looking for your products where ever we can. I hpe we may have a chance to meet again, in the meantime good luck with all you are doing."

Paul Renney, London

November 5th 2010. "Lovely sausages full of flavour. Most people associate a gluten free diet with Coeliacs..and l have given up explaining that as an Autistic person l follow a gluten/dairy free diet which has helped to allieviate the effects these foods have on my condition..so it was nice to discover a tasty sausage l can add to my diet..many thanks."

Sue Haslett, Essex

October 30th 2010. "I have been a sausageholic for about 45 years, I have eaten sausages full of rusk, your sausages are the greatest."

Tony Philips, Cornwall

October 23rd 2010. "Just found your brand of sausages in my local supermarket & it feels like I've won the lotto, its so hard finding gluten free food for coeliac disease. So thank you."

Darren Walsh, Leeds

October 10th 2010. "I've been in mourning for sausages since my allergies meant I couldn't eat them. No more! Not only can I enjoy them again, but these are the most glorious sausages I've ever tasted, simple as that!"

Penny Kerr, Vale of Glamorgan

October 16th 2010. "I wanted to write to you to let you know what I have been doing throughout 2010. It all started Christmas 2009, when my brother in law bought me your recipe book for Christmas. I was not really much of a cook previous to this, I was not adventurous in the kitchen and I did not really appreciate food. Anyway, I decided as a New Year resolution I would learn to cook.

"New Year came; I was in Rome at the time, sitting on a beautiful roof terrace with my brother. We were discussing my New Year resolution on learning to cook. I decided that once a month I would cook a new meal, from your book. My brother then suggested; that in order to keep up with this, I should have a monthly dinner party (and obviously invite him on every one). So that is what I have done. I have had such fun cooking from your book, my guests have had fun as well, you are quite a name now within my family and friends!

"I would just like to say thank you for creating such a fantastic book, every meal I have made, I have enjoyed cooking and most of all eating! I now love cooking and entertaining my friends. My friends and I have decided to continue with monthly meals, although they will be alternate next year, it’ll be nice for me to be the guest sometimes. I still have November and December this year. In November, I am thinking of doing either Baked Trout in a Salt Crust or Crispy Roast Duck with Mango and Chilli sauce.

"I am going to eat some Mediterranean lamb casserole now that is left over from last night’s meal, yum!"

Becky Hughes

September 9th 2010. "The best ever, no gunge when cooking, excellant quality. Thankyou, I will never buy another brand of sausage."

David Simpson, Lincolnshire

September 4th 2010. "My daughter is coeliac, for years we were a little disappointed with the range of gluten free sausages that were on offer, (usually they were half the size of a chipolata, frozen and a bit of an after thought by most supermarkets). That was until we tried the Black Farmer Sausages and in my opinion they are better than all the equivalent non gluten free sausages that I've tasted, let alone the gluten free competition. Thanks for making the effort and also expanding the range."

Julian Sweeny, Hertfordshire

May 11th 2010. "5 out of the 7 members of my family are all allegic to wheat. Its so hard and expensive to feed everyone and especially when we go out to eat its such an nightmare. But we are so glad we can get Black Farmers Sausages just down the road in Budgens - unless they are sold out. Plus they are the best sausages I have ever eaten. They are far better then the gluten free ones from Tescos, even though price wise they are more expensive you dont need as many because they are more filling. When we have bbq's everyone trys to steal our sausages cause they look so good. It would be great to be able to get them in more shops. Especially when i got away visiting friends."

Jennifer Molloy, Warwickshire

April 22nd 2010. "What a sausage! Cooked them to a 'T' and they really are quite delicious! I am definitely converted to The Black Farmer sausages and will spread the word! Keep up the good work!"

Harry Chambers, London

April 18th 2010. "Just wanted to share my thoughts on your fantastic pork sausages. I follow a low carb diet and since finding your product a few months back, it's been a real treat. Being a picky shopper looking for healthy items, I have tried a number of different sausage products and yours irrespective of the fact that hands down they are the lowest carb product out there, also tastes the best. Just wanted to say thanks and hope your other products will be in my local shop soon. Much appreciated."

Darcy VanWyck, Hertfordshire

April 2nd 2010. "Your sausages are scrummy! My family can not eat any other brand now, and we can not wait to try your other products! I do not, to my knowledge have coeliac disease but your sausages are the best and people should try them regardless-they are fab!."

Sheryl Estridge, West Midlands

March 12th 2010. "Just wanted to let you know my wife, my little daughter and I we LOOOVE your sausages. And the best thing is not only are they really tasty, they are also healthy and not as greasy as many other brands or local butcher's ones... and for me it is very important as I strongly believe you are what you eat. So thanks for those family tasty moments and please carry on the good work. All the best."

Vincent Radix, Kent

March 10th 2010. "I just want to say that your sausages are the best in the world! I buy them every week and have never been disappointed and hope and pray that they never take them off the shelves. All my friends ask us where we get the sausage meat for our sausage rolls so we have definately added to the list of buyers. Keep them going! They are great!!"

Christina Jimenez, Norfolk

February 23rd 2010. "Would just like to say, the sausages were the most succulent and meaty sausages we have had, my kids cannot stop raving about them and want me to by every packet in the shop when ever we go. Well done for producing such a fine product that you can really call a sausage."

Steven Blanche, Essex

February 18th 2010. "At last, thankyou, gluten free. I've been a coeliac for so many years and I can eat sausages again that are the best. If only you knew the life changing effect. You're a god send company."

Carl Welstead, Kent

February 17th 2010. "Thanks a billion for making such a great tasting all-English banger! My 3yr old daughter was recently diagnosed with Coeliacs disease, and she really likes her sausages. Now she can continue to enjoy them, many thanks to all your hard work."

Steve Barton, East Sussex

February 12th 2010. "Your sausages are divine and taste just like the ones we could buy in Somerset, when I was a child fifty years ago ! I never thought I would taste sausages like those again. I am so glad you are producing your wonderful sausages and farming in Devon. You are an inspiration, a breath of fresh air in multi- cultural Britain. The Queen likes bangers, why don't you send her a complimentary packet ? A Royal cipher would look so good on your packets."

Jackie Jenkins, Pembrokeshire

February 9th 2010. "Dear Black Farmer. I am writing to say thank you for your products. I was diagnosed with coeliac disease 2yrs ago and I also have a 4yr old son with an egg allergy. To find really tasty sausages that we can both eat (and that the rest of the family enjoy) is such a treat. I usually shop online with Waitrose and had read that they would be stocking your chipolatas but so far I haven't been able to order them. I currently buy your traditional sausages from Tesco but would prefer to shop elsewhere. Anyway this email was really to say thank you and to wish you every success."

Miranda Turner-Morrell, West Midlands

February 8th 2010. "I bought some of your sausages at the weekend from Tesco as recommended by my friend and they were so nice it was lovely to eat such a meaty sausage and my family really really enjoyed them and were fighting over the last one. I don't normally email to comment on products that I buy but these were so nice I felt I had to comment on the good work that has been put in to making these.The only down side I felt that they were very hard to find in my Local Tesco Store in Trowbridge they seemed to be tucked away at the back wish I feel is a shame for such a nice product. Well done everyone."

Lindsay Wells, Wiltshire

February 6th 2010. "When my husband called me into the sausage aisle to show me what he had just found which was a pack of sausages with the black farmer on it, it made us both chuckle. I just had to buy them. My husband is a black man and he felt very proud that there is a black farmer out there. The sausages were lovely and when we go out shopping next week we shall try out some more of your products."

Laura Gayle, Kent

February 3rd 2010. "I would like to say a big THANKYOU to The Black Farmer for sending me a free mug! I am currently enjoying a nice coffee out of it as I write this update! You can see my recipe on his site here. There are loads of great gluten free recipes on his site so I really would recommend that you keep checking it out!"

Sarah Howells, Bournemouth (Sarah's Gluten Free blog)

"Just a short note to say we are converted. These are the best tasting sausages on the planet. I will be trying more again this week. Beautiful and so tasty. Can't wait to try more. Thanks again for such a wonderful tasty product as described on the packaging. Perfect."

Steve Purt, Leighton Buzzard.

"Thank you so much for producing such a wonderful gluten-free sausage! I have coeliacs and have been looking for a decent sausage for a while in my local shops with no joy, but spotted yours in Morrisons one day. Fantastic!! Hopefully they will start stocking the other flavours as well, because I would love to try them. Everybody should try your sausages, whether they have coeliacs or not, they are the best I have ever tasted!!"

Lesley Jones, Bolton, Lancashire.

"Me and my official Black Farmer mug which was sent to me in the post by Mr Emmanuel-Jones (aka The Black Farmer) for cheering him up one day. Definitely in the top 5 things people have EVER given me!"

Neal Wood, Northampton.

"I have eaten too many sausages in my years, but oh boy these are the best, the very best and I cannot buy enough of them. I am on the Atkins diet now and these are just so tasty and cook well, keep their shape and score over 100 percent in all categories. I am going to track down the apple ones in Waitrose and I just hope that all supermarkets start to stock them so that I can buy them wherever I go.

"I hate breaded sausages and ones that are spiced and salted beyond comprehension. I dislike O'Hagans, whatever they do with them they all leave you crying out for water and a strong twang in your mouth. Treagust, another local sausage from Emsworth I used to like a bit, but it was loaded with bread. I do not know how you make a sausage so beautiful and perfect but thank god you have.

"Really looking forward to trying the others and keep up the other variety choices and fingers crossed the word will spread enough and people will try them without turning back and that you have the whole market cornered. So a big thank you from the Goodwin family for producing by far the best sausages in the world. I do not need to try any one else’s to know that. Thanks.”

Jane Goodwin, Bognor Regis.

"Thank You for producing such a wonderful sausage! My husband and son both have Coeliac and I am always looking out for new things for them to try. Sausages are usually either over spiced or very bland but having seen Black Farmer Sausages advertised on Coeliac Uk website I was amazed and pleased to find them in my local Tesco! Well they (and I) loved them! They are, as my son said “better than normal sausages!”

Mrs Carol Keep, Benfleet.

"I have tried your premium pork sausages. Normally I will avoid english sausges like the plague but yours are excellent, lots of taste with overpowering flavour of english pepper and not full of fat." Mrs Milly Glennon, Stafford.

"We bought your Pork, Onion & Chive Sausages from Asda. My husband and I are lovers of traditional and not the different flavoured sausages but these were superb. A subtle, not overpowering flavour, and were the only sausages to cook successfully in the oven. We will most definitely be buying them again. Well done."

Mrs Linda Wheeler, Bristol.

“Both my wife and myself tried your product, pork chive and onion sausages, at Bowood House last Saturday. Purchased some. Now the Mother-in-Law thinks they are booootifull! I think they're the best I've ever tasted, equal to some homemade ones from my youth.”

David Hodgson, Swindon.

The Black Farmer - God Bless Him

"The Boy Scout likes his 'banger'
The Aussie loves his 'snag'
And anyone going shopping
Puts sossies in their bag.

But now with luck we've stumbled on
A sausage out of Devon
The Jolly Old Black Farmer
Has brought a touch of Heaven"

E. T. and E. R. Hoare from Enfield

"These are the most fantastic sausages I've ever tasted. I bought them because my daughter is wheat and egg intolerant and she really missed eating sausages. It was really nice being able to just buy them off the shelves without having to order them specially from the butchers (which weren't very nice anyway).

"They're so nice all the family love them , and my daughter doesn't feel like she's missing out! Please keep me posted on any more egg and wheat free products that you introduce and I will be a 'Black Farmer' devotee. Thanks again."

Liz Walsh, Lincoln

"There are so many indifferent sausages out there - too many supermarket 'the best' range (best?) - that I make my own! However, I do buy sausages and I would like to say that yours, purchased from Sainsburys on holiday were exactly what they said on the tin! Excellent!"

Eileen Bougourd, Guernsey

"Thanks for making such great gluten-free sausages. all the other gluten-free brands taste like cardboard, but yours are wonderful."

John Munro, Stornoway

"Your sausages are the best I ever bought in the UK. It took me a year to finally get my hands on some but they are absolutely tasty. I usually do not like the run of the mill UK sausages due to the way they are made with all kids of fillers, preservatives, colouring and other "enhancements". However yours are pure and they do not shrink or shrivel up in the pan either.

"Knowing where to get them I will have you on my lunch or dinner menu at least 2 to 3 times a month and at my next get-together with friends it will be your sausages and not the usual curry."

Good luck for the future and Stay Pure!

"I felt compelled to write after tasting your gorgeous sausages at the Cheese Festival in Cheltenham a few weeks ago. From the smell when they were cooking to the last mouthful they are meaty, flavoursome, juicy and simply divine! It makes a refreshing change to eat a sausage you know has been made with love and passion and to know you are not going to end up chewing on a bit of gristle or fat, but just wholesome tasty meat and wonderful herbs and spices! Thank you!"

Victoria Seyforth, Cheltenham.

“I have just purchased (from Sainsbury’s) and cooked your sausages and they are the best sausages I have had in many, many years. The texture is excellent, as is the flavour.”

Miss Sandra Rennie, London.

“I bought some of your sausages...and I can say without hesitation that they are some of the best sausages I've tasted for a very long time. Thank you.”

Pat Silver, Bristol.

“We purchased some of your sausages from the Eridge Show, they are delicious, no slimey skin or that horrible greasy fatty aftertaste. I have just started a gluten free diet, so these fitted the bill perfectly.”

Mrs Karen Partington, East Sussex.

"Just wanted to say I bought some of your Pork sausages in Sainsbury's and they were excellent, the best I ever tasted, you certainly have a winning way with pork! I went back and bought every pack they had on display just in case they sold out!! I think they were far superior to the Duchy of Cornwall ones I also tried, I think your combination of seasoning was much better than theirs, I liked the texture too....just right not too coarse, not too soft, they cooked well too. The skins kept their shape and blended with the meat, not like some I have tried where the skins linger long after the meat has gone and are too chewy! I have recommended your tasty sausages to my friends!"

Chris Copp, Exeter.

"I would like to congratulate you on your tasty sausages. I have found them a god send on a low carb diet"

Mrs Nicky Moor, Weymouth.

"The Black Farmer Pork, Onion & Chive Sausages.....fantastic...among the best we've tasted in recent years. Full of flavour and really succulent. Well done! I hope the supermarkets pay you a fair price!"

Gary & Jane Williams, Weston-Super-Mare.

"Since reading about The Black Farmer Sausages in the Western Morning News I have been looking for them on my weekly shopping expedition to Sainsbury’s in Torquay and have been asking when they will be in the store. This week - bingo! We've just had The Black Farmer Sausages for lunch.

"My husband is a 'sausage man', absolutely loves them. Me? Not that keen, but I just so enjoyed them I had to write and tell you. Meaty, not greasy, dry and tasty. I hope The Black Farmer will be a really successful venture, but not so successful that it becomes a commercial product like all the others! Lovely lunch, thank you."

Mrs Anne Northmore, Devon
