OUR FAMOUS BRITISH SADDLEBACK PIGS
We started in 1987 with two British Saddleback gilts. We now have around 200 sows and 13 boars, which between them produce about 3000 piglets a year. As you can imagine, this keeps our pig men, Chris and Tony (pictured below), busy all year round!
This is what our longest serving boar who resolutely carries out his duty with a smile on his face, says is so special about his life: |
“We have:
• Great views
• Fresh air
• Nice neighbours
• Interesting diet, and
• Our offspring get to suckle from Mum until they are 2 months old, and then stay with their brothers or sisters, munching on pastures of luscious clover and rooting for grubs
“NONE of those awful:
• farrowing crates; teeth cutting, tail docking or castration rituals that we hear some of our contemporaries suffer”
If you'd like to try our delicious organic pork, why not visit our pub, The Royal Oak, where we regularly serve our own organic pork on the menu. Occassionally we have organic pork cuts such as tenderloins or trim available at a good price to customers in the local area. Please call us for more information on 01793 790460.
