Free Range
Oxford Sandy & Black Pork
About our pigs
Our pigs are purebred Oxford Sandy & Black.
These native breed pigs are wonderfully suited to our free range system.
Fond of digging, rooting and foraging for delicious titbits, they make good use of their outdoor space.
​
Calm and easy going - these pigs are a joy to spend time with!

Our pigs lead a happy life on our smallholding. They live outdoors, where they spend their days rooting, digging and wallowing in the mud.
They are fed a varied diet, consisting of a balanced ration, supplemented with apples from our orchard and home grown crops.
Our pigs have a much longer life than commercially reared, indoor pigs, and grow slowly, as nature intended. They don't have to have their tails docked, or their teeth clipped, like most indoor pigs.
Pork Boxes
The pork produced by our free range pigs is completely different to any intensively reared meat you will find in the supermarket. Allowing our traditional breeds to grow slowly ensures that our pork is flavoursome and succulent. The crackling is something special!
Our pork is available in half-pig and quarter-pig boxes.
Each box contains a delicious selection of roasting joints, sausages, chops and other cuts. All expertly prepared by our butcher, and packed ready for the freezer. Standard butchery is shown below. Your pork can be prepared in diferent cuts if you prefer - please let us know your requirements, and we will do our best to arrange this.
Pork is available in batches throughout the year - the next collection dates are shown on the online order page. We advise ordering in advance, as we tend to sell out quickly!
