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

7TH November 2006

At Yorkshire Meats we are passionate about keeping rare breeds of pig. Like the OSBs, the Old Spots are a dual-purpose pig, ideal for succulent roasting joints and bacon. The breed has gone from being very small only 40 years ago, to now being the largest numerically of the pigs listed by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust, with 4 male and 15 female breeding lines.

These particular pigs are 1/2 OSB and 1/2 GOS and have all been adopted by people passionate about food and the importance of food provenance. Visit the adoption gallery for more information about individual piglets.
