xProduct Description
Packington pigs are reared to the highest welfare standards and have been well recognised by butchers and the RSPCA Freedom Foods, as the best you can get. All our pigs are born outdoors at Packington. Our sows live their whole lives outside with plenty of space to roam, wallow and be sociable. When the piglets are weaned, they are moved into large outdoor paddocks. Here the piglets have the benefit of well bedded, cosy tents, while still being able to run around outside. A happy pig is a healthy pig! At twelve weeks of age, our piglets are moved into large, naturally lit sheds with an outdoor area, where due to our low group numbers, we can ensure the welfare of the pig remains paramount. Tended by our farmers, the pigs are protected from the elements, with lots of space, natural light and natural ventilation, and deep straw beds. Our pigs develop and mature to produce the delicious meat you've come to expect from Packington. It may take longer to produce pigs in this way and cost a little more, but the results are worth it, and all our customers agree. All our pork is prepared, hand cut and packed by Jon Thorner's, a Q Guild Master Butcher. As a family butchery business, they understand the needs of the customer and their requirements enabling us to bring this truly superb product to you. We know you'll enjoy it. Rob Mercer

Packington Free Range
At Packington Free Range we firmly believe that what is good for the animals and the land will naturally be good for us and better for our customers. This is the philosophy of our great grandfather before us and we believe passionately in provenance, sustainable and ethical farming which fuels our drive to create an environmentally sound and welfare orientated farm.
Our farms are in various environmental schemes, and we believe in farming in a way that increases regeneration and biodiversity, all having a positive impact on the land and on the animals. Regular surveys on our farms show that the number of different birds and wildlife species increases year on year. We have installed solar panels and use bio-mass boilers to help further reduce our carbon footprint. All of this allows us to continue to farm the land here, in Staffordshire, for generations to come.
It's this simple philosophy that enables us to produce the most succulent, richly flavoured meat that we know you'll enjoy.
