All our pigs and sheep are traditional, slow growing, rare breeds.

Our breeds are:

Berkshire Pigs
One of the oldest breeds renowned for its depth of flavour and famous for the best crackling there is!

Saddle Back Pigs

Iron Age Pigs
The closest pig to the first domesticated animal. Wild boar crossed with Tamworth producing a smaller carcase with a gamey flavour and a good fat covering.

Manx Loaghtan Sheep

 Jacob Sheep
