British Rare Breeds
As the company name speaks, our product comes from five major British rare breeds, which are listed by British Pig Association and British Rare Breed Survival Trust as protected breeds.
The pigs are kept in small traditional farms located in English countryside, and bred completely in natural conditions, free-range and organic pork.
Unlike normal commercial farm, we are in collaboration with Langford Abattoir, based at the University of Bristol Vet School, where the pigs are slaughtered, cut and stored.
What are Rare Breeds?
