PIG SUPPLIERS Until recently i reared a small amount of my own pigs which i believe has given me good experience & knowledge at what produces good quality pork. However i had to give up the rearing (for the time been) to focus on developing the catering business. During the last 4 years i have developed a good network with other small scale breeders, who have supplied me with good quality pork. I focus on locally sourced, quality of life & traditional breeds, such as Gloucester Old Spot, Saddlebacks and Tamworths. Before using a supplier i visit the farm to ensure the quality of pork is to the standard i require and that the pigs are kept in a health environment......this is more that just a business to me.
My 2 breeding sows have moved to Ainstable, and hopefully will continue to produce pork for my business.
DRYBECK FARM, Armathwaite, Cumbria
 Drybeck Farm is on the banks of the river Eden near Armathwaite. We have 2 breeding groups, one of Gloucestershire Old Spots and one of Saddlebacks. We produce pure breeds and crosses from our eight sows and two boars. Apart from when the sows come inside to farrow all our pigs live outside on the river bank with arks for shelter and a varied diet of pig nuts, fodder beet and vegetable waste from our extensive vegetable plot.
As well as having supplied Pork to Perfection for the last 3 years we sell sausage, dry cured bacon, hams and a variety of cuts and joints from the farm gate. We can also provide half or whole pigs butchered as you wish.
For further info contact Steve on 07854523012. You can also visit our website at www.drybeckfarm.co.uk to view our luxury camping accommodation.
RIGGHEAD FARM, Kirklinton, Carlisle
Julius & Gill at Rigghead Farm have a small herd of pure saddleback pigs. These are bedded on straw from an adjoining field, and free access all day to wooded and orchard areas to root around in. We feed them morning and night with quality pellets from Ronnie Stobart supplemented by treats such as windfall apples and wast bread. We believe that a relaxed and happy rare breed pig will taste better on the plate. We are happy to supply Pork to Perfection, but can also offer weaners and whole or half-sides butchered. contact: 01228 675212 Julius.deane@cmiplc.co.uk
