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. |
