Free Range Pork...

It's a fact that traditionally reared old breeds of pork taste better than any other. Our pork which is supplied by Packington Pork is sweet and moist with delicious crispy crackling and a meaty flavour that only comes from traditional rearing and a genuine care for the welfare of the animals.

Happier Pigs: At Packington they aim to rear pigs in a natural, stress-free environment that have the right qualities to produce excellent pork. They aim for a slightly greater fat covering which enhances the flavour while the beneficial environment helps improve flavour and taste. The RSPCA were so impressed by the environment they provide for their pigs that they accredited them with a Freedom Food certification mark.

Unlike other free-range farms they don’t take their pigs indoors to “finish” them. This usually involves taking the young pigs indoors to fatten them up and prepare them for market. They don’t follow this process! Their pigs live outdoors for the whole of their lives.

As Nature Intended: They pride themselves in rearing pigs naturally and therefore, do not give any additives, growth promoters or antibiotics at any stage of the pig’s life. There aren’t many pig farms that can genuinely make this claim; they are one of the few.
