Pork

Heritage Pork from Yorkshire

In the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, our Tamworth and Middle White pigs are reared outdoors, free to root, wallow, and express their natural behaviours. This ethical and sustainable pork farming approach ensures the pigs mature at their own pace, allowing natural marbling of the meat and developing a rich, generous outer layer of fat that enhances the flavour.

Both breeds are exceptional in their own right. Tamworth pork is renowned for producing superb bacon, while Middle White pork, celebrated for its robust and rich flavour, is the only British breed exclusively dedicated to fresh, uncured pork. Hugely popular in the first half of the 20th century, particularly among London restaurants, it earned the nickname ‘London Porker.’

The breed’s generous fat content - arguably its crowning glory - led to a gradual decline in popularity, bringing it to the brink of extinction. Thankfully, a handful of breeders preserved it, and while still rare, the breed is now stable. We are passionate about increasing its numbers within our farming community to further secure its future.
