PIGS All our pigs run outdoors in our woods and forage but they are housed in large stables with plenty of straw if the weather leaves the land lying very wet. We breed Pedigree Oxford Sandy & Blacks. Our pigs live in family groups and sows are served naturally. They are fed primarily corn from our own farm, but with bought in protein, all milled on farm. Weaners for breeding & fattening and finished stock are available during the year. |

MEAT We only use a local abattoir - reducing the stress and environmental damage caused by long distance travel - where the highest standards of hygiene, welfare and meat inspection are maintained. Our beef is hung longer than normal (approx four weeks), which gives the meat much more tenderness and flavour. Our meat is sold ready cut and frozen into convenient sizes. Being quick-frozen, when they are at the peak of their flavour means that water in the food is frozen into smaller ice crystals, minimising damage to the cell structure of the food and retaining higher nutritional value without requiring any other method of preservation. Frozen food products can be kept safely for long periods of time without deteriorating, so we are able to make our foods available to you regardless of season or geographical location. |
