FREE RANGE
Our pigs are free to roam in small groups around their paddocks 24 hours a day. They love to dig for roots and graze the grass, wallow in mud and sleep in their purpose built pig arcs. They are fed greens (apples, sweetcorn, veg peelings, etc) with their pig nuts. We do not intensively rear our happy pigs.
WELL HUNG MEAT
All our pork is hung for a minimum of 14 days to allow the meat to mature before being jointed, weighed and bagged (not vac packed!) by a local master butcher.
CURING
Our butcher uses a traditional cure for bacon, hams and gammon, and a simple spice mix for the sausages.
TRADITIONAL TASTE
Many people agree pork from traditional breeds raised on a natural foraged diet is better than anything they have ever tasted. Our customers certainly think so. A good amount of fat and marbling is crucial to the taste.
