Again, our meat comes from pedigree stock - Berkshire and Gloucester Old Spot pigs. We believe that old traditional breeds make the best meat. Sadly though intensive farming over the years has lead to a serious decline in both Berkshire and Gloucester Old Spot numbers.

Neither of these breeds suited the intensive farming method or factory farming, where large numbers of pigs are kept indoors with no outside access. The breeding sows being confined to narrow farrowing crates for long periods of time.
