A livestock farm that has recently
diversified from being solely pigs, into pigs, cows and sheep. The Farm
Shop business was developing very strongly until the hammer-blow of the
Foot-and-Mouth outbreak in 2001. Even farms that remained free of disease
were hit hard by the government restriction on movement of animals. Recently
the Farm Shop has being re-established as an outlet for freezer packs
(half a pig, ready cut into joints etc). Increasingly people want compassion
in farming, and local, traceable produce, and this is an excellent source
of meat - you can see the animals have good, open living conditions. You
can almost believe they are happy animals. Even more importantly, it tastes
wonderful.
