What it costs

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

So, what is it going to cost me to adopt-a-pig?

The answer is nothing...

Well, that’s not entirely true. We do not charge for the privilege of adopting-a-pig from us. We do not charge for putting on the personal web pages, for the personalised information packs and colour pictures. However, in exchange for all of our hard work, we require that you buy the whole pig at the end of the process.






A whole pig weighs in at about 40-50kg of meat. This usually works out between £280 and £350, though never more than £380. For this price you get all of the meat back from your pig, butchered, vacuum packed, weighed, labelled and priced ~ just how you would like to find it. In terms of cost, you are paying about £100 more than in a supermarket, the same as in a good butchers, and £160 less than London prices. Any offal you choose to have from your pig is free of charge.

At the start of the adoption we take a £50 deposit which is deducted from the final amount payable when the meat is collected.
