Pork
On the farm, we breed Bramblebee Old Spots based on the Gloucester Old Spot. These pigs are raised outdoors in family groups and are raised by us. The farm doesn’t have a large commercial herd just a dozen or so sows and 1 or 2 boars. The meat from our pigs is only here to supply our own butchery.
As a slow-growing breed, they thrive on low protein feed (produced by a local mill), as well as vegetables that otherwise would otherwise be wasted, allowing them to enjoy a happy outdoor life for 9-10 months longer than a commercial pig (only 4 months!)
The farm breeds new sows every few years and brings in fresh boars every few years.
Farm-raised pork from us is tasty and a great representation of how pork used to taste, full of mouthwatering flavors.
