Ethically reared pork
How is it sustainably produced?
As well as being allowed to forage widely our pigs are fed on crushed field beans and peas (a by-product from crops grown on the farm) and discarded fruit and vegetables from our local markets at Dunmow and Thaxted.
Environmental advantages
The beneficial effects of pigs in conservation grazing and land management are many and include: acting as a natural predator for invasive species, reducing ground layer density, increasing dead wood percentage, breaking up soil, generating nesting materials and clearing or thinning vegetation.
Knowing that we can rear our pigs on a fresh, healthy, sustainable diet without using meat protein or grain is something we are proud of and we believe is an important part of producing ethical, healthy and great tasting meat.
Why these rare breeds?
Tamworth
With the marbling of fat through Tamworth meat and its outer layer of tasty fat, this breed is renowned for its eating quality, and particularly famous for its marvelous bacon
Today's Tamworth is thought to be the most typical breed descended from the old indigenous species, the Old English Forest pig. Tamworth are very active and thrive, outside, year round in our meadow pasture and woodland using their strong snouts to root and plough the land.
Oxford Sandy & Black
Around 300 years old, the O,S&B is one of our oldest native breeds. They are best suited to live outdoors as they are natural foragers. This natural diet ensures a sweet and rich flavour, with not only excellent ham and bacon, but excellent roasting joints.
