LATEST NEWS... JUNE 2011 - SAUSAGE'S SECOND LITTER Sausage had her second lot of large black piglets in mid-May. Try and count them in the picture but it's tricky! There are 8 hungry large blacks all trying to get some milk. The picture was taken when they were about an hour old! They are now two weeks old and are venturing out of the house but never going too far from their mum.
MAY 2011 - GLOUCESTER OLD SPOT FREE RANGE PORK ALMOST READY The latest additions to our herd are three Gloucester Old Spot pigs & three Berkshire pigs. The Old Spots are very lazy and spend 85% of their time sleeping or sunbathing and 15% of their time eating!The Berkshires are as active as fireworks. I hope I never have to catch them! The Old Spots will be ready on June 4th. Our Berkshire pork will be ready in August. AUGUST 2010 - SADDLEBACKS COMING SOON Muddy Lovely is trying out a new rare breed pig this September. We have just ordered some Saddleback weaners. They'll be with us mid-September. The pork from a Saddleback is full-flavoured and high quality. AUGUST 2010 - MUDDY LOVELY ON THE MENU Muddy Lovely pork was served up at the Cat Inn, West Hoathley, this month. The pub ordered a side and a quarter of our free range, rare breed pork and said how delicious the pork was! They will be coming back for more when the next lot of Berkshires go off. We've also had interest from a new pub that's opening in Cuckfield this Autumn, so watch this space! JULY 2010 - NEW ARRIVALS Three new Berkshires joined Sausage in July. They are better behaved than the last lot and have so far not chewed any wellies!
JUNE 2010 - SAUSAGE GETS A BOARFRIEND We had a visitor this month. Malcolm came to stay with Sausage. They got on very well and hopefully in October we'll have Large Black piglets. They'll be ready for any good homes in early December.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY... "Oh my. We have the head and trotters in brine as we speak and we had the loin last night and it was fantastic!! The crackling was soooooo good and the meat was so tasty." "Thank you for your care and enthusiasm. It's quite infectious...and we will certainly mention you to colleagues and friends as a good source of ethically-produced and good tasting pork." "...we had a really interesting (not to mention tasty) day on Saturday processing the pig into ham, bacon, sausage, brawn, chops and joints and finishing the day with the delicious roast hand and hock (and a few glasses of wine) was terrific. Given we had only a butcher's diagram and inspiration to guide us I think we made a pretty creditable job and I'd say that any interested amateur should definitely give it a go." |
Saving rare breeds
"Grown more slowly to produce pork with a traditional flavour, pedigree pork is a taste worth waiting for." The BPA.
The British Pig Association supports pig farmers like us. They say, "Help Save our Native Breeds. "In Britain we still have more different breeds of pig than any other European country. "More than half of these breeds are at risk of extinction. The only way to ensure a sustainable future for our native breeds is to use them, which means eating them. "When you buy pedigree pork you get fantastic tasting meat and you also help to guarantee the future of our unique genetic heritage for generations to come. "Remember that pedigree breeders are dedicated to saving our native and rare breed British pigs. "Pedigree Pork is from rare breeds. There aren't enough to supply supermarkets "Supermarket Pork is from hybrid or crossbred pigs. They don't help save our rare breeds." If you want to know more about different breeds and find suppliers near you please visit the official breeders' club.. |
