Paul at Bramblebee Farm breeds Old Spots pigs and they are all raised outdoors for their entire lives in family groups. It’s a small friendly herd just a dozen or so sows and 1 or 2 boars.  These slow-growing Gloucester Old Spots thrive on low protein feed and homegrown vegetables that otherwise would be wasted, enjoying a happy outdoor life for nearly 12 months longer than a commercial pig. Bramblebee Farm Old Spot Pork is tasty and a great representation of how pork used to taste, full of mouth-watering flavours.
