Berkshire pigs

These hairy black pigs with white snouts, feet and tail tips are a hardy, outdoor rare breed, on the Rare Breed Survival Trust’s vulnerable list. Unlike pink pigs they aren’t prone to sunburn, and thrive outdoors in all weathers.

Berkshires produce exceptionally succulent meat with an amazing texture that can’t be beaten whether it’s as pork, gammon, bacon or sausages. Intriguingly, they kill out with white skin, so you don’t get black crackling or bacon rind.

Our pigs are kept in a group, outdoors, freely supplementing their diet with grass, herbs and roots, and have straw filled arks for shelter.
