Pepperfield Farm invites its customers to visit to see its animal welfare practices first hand.

The RSPCA Good Business Awards celebrate those companies that set higher standards for animal welfare in the food, fashion and cosmetics industries.

Pepperfield farm features Gloucester Old Spot pigs from which they produce sausages with no additives and natural skins. There is Gloucester Old Spot middle bacon, dry cured with no artificial additives. In addition there is lamb and rosemary (hint of garlic) mutton sausages made from rare breed Wiltshire Horn sheep. Also available is chorizo dried sausage, pork, Wiltshire Horn mutton and Orpington table ready birds. Soon there will be available Tamworth bacon and sausages. All Pepperfield animals are raised on the farm and products prepared on the farm insuring complete traceability.

We are a small producer of traditional, free-range, rare-breed pork, bacon and gammon.

We retain the 'old-fashioned' and environmentally friendly ways of keeping pigs - outdoors, in grassy paddocks, with lots of exercise and company and we do not use artificial pesticides.

Our pigs' food contains no GM products, hormones or drugs and they also have fresh fruit and vegetables. Because of this, we have happy pigs and happy customers.


A Guide to Traditional Pigkeeping

Carol Harris

A fully illustrated and comprehensive reference book covering all aspects of traditional pig husbandry. With a strong emphasis on the conservation of both rare and traditional breeds it is aimed very much at the small-scale enterprise and includes day-to-day management issues such as housing, breeding, showing, sales, marketing, welfare, food regulations and organic pig keeping. It also has sections identifying breeds together with their histories, butchery, meat curing, sausage making and cooking. With contributions from many experts it contains clear text, numerous photos and a substantial resource section together with endorsements from Marcus Bates of the British Pig Association and chef and pig breeder Antony Worrall-Thompson. Hardback 192 pages.

Price: £20 Group price available


Reviews of A Guide to Traditional Pig Keeping by Carol Harris

'An absolute delight - either to read from cover to cover if you are planning on venturing into the pig-keeping teritory, or to casually flick through if you have an interest in our pink portly friends and would like to find out a little more...a comprehensive reference book covering every aspect of pig husbandry that manages not to be overwhelming.'
Farm Life Sept 2005

'If you're new to pig-keeping, or want to increase your knowledge, the book is an excellent resource. There's really nothing else like it out there, and we wish we'd had a copy when we started out. It concentrates on traditional breeds, and caters for the smallholder wishing to keep a small number of pigs, as well as those who might be looking to get into breeding pigs.... We're very impressed with all the sensible, practical advice the book contains.'
Accidental Smallholder June 2005
