Who we are
About the farm
In the hills of West Cornwall, amid the mining World Heritage landscape, we have reared slow-growing traditional and rare-breed pigs outdoors since 1999; on our farm we keep Gloucester Old Spots and Large Blacks, and other breeds come from neighbouring farms that share our standards. We began selling at farmers' markets in 2000; today our butchery in Newham, on the edge of Truro, prepares our pork, dry-cured bacon, sausages, ham and hog's pudding in house, and also sells beef and poultry sourced from other West Country farmers. We sell through our online shop with delivery and meat boxes, at Cornish farmers' markets, and via local farm shops and restaurants.

Write a review
How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
