January at Emma's Pigs

We hope you all had a good Christmas. Our pigs certainly had a good day. Not only was it one of the warmest Christmas Days since records began, but they were also treated to a Christmas dinner of carrots, sprouts and parsnips.

Our Christmas period was also very productive with two sows farrowing in December.

We now have lots of adorable piglets. We are keeping some of these ourselves but also have some available for customers on our 'Own a Pig Scheme'.

"Adopt a Pig..."

This scheme offers the chance to 'Own a Pig' which we will look after for you until it reaches pork weight. This is the perfect gift for the Foodie in your Family. The pork not only tastes superb, but it is totally traceable and meets the highest welfare standards. You can follow your pig's progress through monthly reports and can even visit it if you want.

If you would like more details please call (07876 597668) or email us on curly.tails@emmaspigs.co.uk.

Pig Keeping Courses

Our pig courses start again on the 4th February. These courses are for anyone with a passion for pigs Whether you would like to keep pigs, run a pig related business or just want a great day out petting pigs. For more information and a full list of dates see the Pig Keeping Courses page.

The piglets here were a firm favourite with those on the 3rd September course, lying in the sun for all to stroke.

Butchery Courses

Due to popular demand our Pig Butchery Courses also return this year. We run these back to back with a Pig Keeping Course, so that anyone wanting to make a weekend of it can do so. These courses are extremely practical with everyone getting plenty of opportunity to prepare their own joints, chops and sausages.
