Why Eat Rare Breed Pork?
Old-Fashioned Pork and Bacon
The eating quality of meat from rare breeds is far superior to that of commercially developed breeds and is due to their genes and the fact that they are slower maturing. This means that the animal is older when it reaches the correct level of 'finish' and thus it has developed more flavour.
Contrary to previous information, it has been acknowledged that some fat is necessary for a healthy, balanced diet and in pork this produces meat that is succulent, full of flavour and produces crispy crackling.
Nearly all the top chefs agree that meat from rare breeds really does taste better and, in supporting the traditional breeds, you are playing your part in helping to conserve breeds that are in danger of being lost to future generations.
Animal Welfare
All our pigs are extensively reared and run outdoors where they are free to root and forage. They are fed on a diet which is GM and chemical free and does not contain any growth enhancers. We only ever transport to a local abattoir - reducing the stress and environmental damage caused by long-distance travel.
Traceability
We only sell meat from pigs which are pure bred from registered parents and stock can be traced back to its point of birth. Quality guranteed.
