Perfect Pigs in The Brecks

Each year The Brecks Explorer is produced to give both visitors& residents an idea of events that will be taking place throughout the year in our part of Norfolk. As well as the history of The Brecks it also features articles on wildlife and farming as well as places to eat and drink. This year 'The perfect Pigs' at Scotts Field Pork were highlighted......

'The Large Black Pig is extremely docile and suited to outdoor rearing - the unique topography of The Brecks means that it is an ideal place to rear outdoor pigs so having Large Blacks in The Brecks is a win win situation. The Brecks soil is very free draining, the land is flat and as farming in this part of the world is predominately arable there is access for pig farmers to straw & cereal feed. In return is used as part of the rotation pigs contribute to the fertility of the farm - adding fertilizer and humus to the soil ....'

Scotts Field Pork can be found in The Brecks at Impson Butchers  & Yallop & Sons as well as many fine establishments including Strattons Hotel  and Browns Kitchen at Mundford.
