Specialist kit, ready when you are.
A growing fleet of specialist machinery available for hire on a self-operated basis. If you need an operator and a result rather than a piece of kit, our contracting team is here.
From our fields, to our pigs, to your plate.
Our pigs are fed on grain we grow ourselves, milled on-site using solar generated electricity. The manure goes back to the land, the next crop goes back to the pigs, and the pork goes to nearby abattoirs and on to Procter's Sausages, the consumer brand we acquired in 2024. It is a genuinely circular model, and one we are proud of.

Winning the Sustainable Farming Award 2024: what it means for our business
In November 2024 we picked up the Sustainable Farming Award at the National Pig Awards. It was a proud moment, and a useful one too. Here is what the award recognises, what we have changed to get here, and what we are working on next.
Read articleWhy precision matters: how RTK guidance changes every operation
Every operation we run uses RTK guidance. That sounds technical, and the systems behind it are, but the difference it makes is straightforward: less waste, better work, a finish you can see in the field. Here is what RTK is doing on each pass.
Read articleFrom field to fork: how we feed our pigs with what we grow
Most pig farms buy in their feed. We do not. The grain that becomes the feed that becomes the pork is grown, milled and fed on a single farm in Essex. Here is why that matters and what it means for the pork we produce.
