This is such an interesting idea. It’s a wonderful scheme” ~ Tom Parker-Bowles

Welcome to Yorkshire Meats and our innovative Adopt-a-Pig scheme, the ultimate in food provenance, featured in the National and International Press and revolutionising the way we think about our food.

Nowadays, food provenance is a big issue. Consumers are becoming much more interested in the origins of their food and how it got to their table; Pigs intensively reared indoors or raised outdoors? 45% meat sausages with colourings and additives or 96% meat sausages with fresh spices? Genetically selected hybrids or traditional rare breeds?

Through the Adopt-a-Pig scheme, you can track your pig’s life from start to finish. You choose a pig, will be sent photo packs, receive email updates, see it on the internet, and even visit the pigs in their natural surroundings. You can even have postcards and fridge magnets of your very own pig made. At the end, you can choose what you want back from your pig, and after 6 months will sit down to the perfect porcine feast, knowing exactly where it all came from.

It’s simple, it’s easy and it’s the ultimate in food provenance, a journey from field to fork, from pasture to plate.
