“From field to fork, from pasture to plate - tracking your food every step of the way”

Not only do you get to choose a piglet at the beginning, but with our adopt-a-pig scheme you can also choose how you want the meat back at the end...

So, you can select a mixture of pork roasting joints, choose from two types and 9 flavours of sausages, pick the prime cuts for bacon and even ask us to smoke the gammon for you. It is entirely your choice and we will help you every step of the way. Alternatively, for that special occasion we can arrange for your pig to be butchered ready for a hogroast...

Step 1 ~ Choose your cuts

Using our downloadable flowchart (click here), choose what you would like our team of specialist butchers to make your pig into. As you have in effect 2 half pigs, you can choose two different cuts for each part. For example, you may choose the following cuts:

Legs ~ 1/2 to roasting joints, 1/2 to gammon

 Shoulders ~ 1/2 to roasting joints, 1/2 to sausages

  Belly ~ 1/2 to pork slabs, 1/2 to streaky bacon

  Loin ~ 1/2 to chops, 1/2 to loin bacon

If you want other cuts then we can usually accommodate this also - please just ask as we can manage most things from spare ribs to the joints boned & rolled to whole loins.

Step 2 ~ Choose your sausages

Firstly there are the "Speciality Sausages" which are about 96% meat or more, with just the spices and all in natural skins. They have no rusk, so taste incredibly meaty, as they have a far higher meat content than almost any other sausages which you can buy elsewhere. The flavours are "Simply Pork", "Pork and Blackpudding", "Pork and Leek", "Hot 'n Spicy" and "Pork and Pear".

Secondly there are the "Butcher's Sausages" which are about 75% meat, do have rusk and are not in natural skins. They are far more like the conventional traditional butcher's sausages which you can buy at farmer's markets and good butcher shops. The flavours are "Simply Pork", "Pork and Blackpudding" and "Pork and Apple".

The choice is which type you go for, or whether to have a mix. Most people go for some of either, half-half. This way you get to taste them both, but do not commit yourself to buying too much of one type. As always though, it is completely your choice

Step 3 ~ Choose your offal

With the adopt-a-pig scheme, our philosophy is that “it is your pig, so you can have what you want”. This extends to all the offal - and what’s more, we will give it to you for free also. When you send in the butchery instructions we will ask for your offal requirements. These are then passed onto the butchers. Sometimes they do not give us all the offal back - in these circumstances it is out of our hands and we cannot guarantee to have all offal available.
