the pig place

Hello and welcome to the pig place - the number one place for pigs!

On Thursday 11th February 2010 our website was featured in The Independent's Food & Drink section within The Ten Best Food Websites!!!  It is fantastic to be featured alongside the likes of Abel & Cole - the Organic Fruit & Veg Box People.

We of course found it amusing that the piggies pictured were not our own, but of course a stock photo, and of commercial pigs at that!  So far removed from our non-intensive slowly reared approach to producing the best quality pork from our traditional rare breed pigs.

But hopefully it grabbed your attention and you are now reading this, and if you read on, you can find out more about what we do and hopefully be inspired to buy a pig from us!

But what will I do with a whole pig we hear you say!  Don't worry!  You're whole pig will come butchered, bagged and labelled ready to cook cure or freeze.

And why not club together with friends, family or colleagues and 'adopt' a pig together!  Choose your pig.  Pick a name if you wish.  We'll take care of it for you and send you regular updates as to how your pig is doing with photographs.  You can even visit your pig if you like!  And at the end of the process you can divide your pig up or meet up for a big BBQ or spitroast!

If you adopt a pig now, he or she or 'it' as you might prefer to refer to your little porkchop, could be ready anytime between June and August depending on how young a little piggy you pick as your very own.  Of course if you want one sooner, just let us know!  We always have extra pigs available but they are on a first come first served basis.
