We love rare breeds, and animal welfare is really important to us. I got so fed up when supermarket shopping and trying to work out if the meat I was buying had been raised outdoors, or to higher welfare standards that when I got the change to move out of town to a house with a small patch of land raising my own animals for meat was high on the agenda! I also wanted to support rare breeds, it may
seen counter productive, raising a rare breed pig and then turning it into pork, but the reason these animals are rare is because we stopped eating them. Now I've got my own breeding sow, some of the piglets I sell go on to be breeding sows themselves, slowly increasing the diminishing numbers. We keep Middle White pigs and Large Black pigs, these are the two rarest of the pig breeds. We sell our pork as roasting joints, chops, ribs and really delicious sausages, made for us by our local butcher. Our butcher has won awards for his sausages so it's not just us who find them delicious! We also sell whole or half pigs, and if you ask to be added to our mailing list I will let you know when we have pigs due to go off to the butcher and you can specify how you want your half or whole pig butchered. Don't worry if you haven't ordered in advance, drop me an email and I'll let you know what meat we've got available and it will be delivered frozen, ready to be popped straight into your freezer. Alongside our meat products we also breed Pygmy and Golden Guernsey Goats, whenever we've got kids available I will post pictures. We also offer stud services for goats, we have a Pygmy buck, Sid (not registered) alongside our registered Golden Guernsey buck Joey.
