Old Spot Pork
Our Reputation has been largely built around our Gloucester Old Spot pigs which bare reared in the extensive woodlands of the Marks Hall Estate where we farm.
The Gloucestershire old spot pig is a large lop eared, mainly white pig with at least one black spot.
It is now officially recognised as a rare breed, and can certainly be dated back to the early 1900’s if not earlier.
Unlike the commercial hybrid pig, the Gloucester’s are fed a far less intensive ration and fatten at a far slower rate. It is this rearing that encourages the development of the tender, succulent and fine grained meat full of flavour that these pigs are renowned for.
We do not use additives or growth promoters and these pigs are reared in the traditional way in totally stress free environment.

Blythburgh free range pork comes exclusively from the Blythburgh herd of free range pigs that are reared on the picturesque north Suffolk coast.
These pigs are more than free range, because they are reared totally out of doors and allowed to roam free in their spacious paddocks in a stress free environment. They are also allowed to grow naturally, with no hormone or antibiotic growth promoters used.
These pigs also benefit from being reared for four weeks longer than conventionally reared pigs to allow the delicious flavour and mouth watering succulence to develop fully.
The farmer of this herd is Jimmy Butler and he has just been voted as British Pig Farmer 2005 by “Farmers Weekly” magazine which is just reward for the first class environment in which these pigs are reared.
