"I don't buy pork any more!"

It's the remark we get from our new customers, and this is what changes their mind.

Commercial pork has no chance - torn from it's mother too young (stress affects meat quality) , incarcerated in stifling crowded pens, fed on boring, unchanging food designed solely to put on weight fast, and killed so young the meat is still flaccid from lack of muscle, with a thin rubbery skin incapable of making real crackling.

Fattening pigs are free range throughout their lives, which is six months minimum, allowing for proper muscle and tissue build-up and the all important skin, which produces the "snap in your fingers" crackling you thought a forgotten dream.

We are particularly sensitive to the needs of allergy sufferers - our pigs receive no milk products whatsoever and very little wheat gluten in their feed. Naturally we feed neither animal protein, growth promotors nor routine antibiotics, and our feed is GM free, so far as we know.

Pork is available from the Bell & Birdtable throughout the year and our minimum order is a pack of two chops!
