At Plantation Pigs, free-range truly means free. Since 1987, founder Hugh Norris has pioneered sustainable and compassionate pig farming on the scenic South Downs, where their Hampshire-Duroc crossbreed pigs thrive year-round in expansive, open fields. This beautiful, windswept environment allows the pigs to live as naturally as possible, where summer means bathing in refreshing mud wallows to stay cool, while the colder months invite them to cozy up in deep, straw-lined shelters. This careful, outdoor upbringing combined with a nutritious diet results in pork known for its depth of flavor and tenderness. Hampshire-Duroc crosses are particularly valued for their hearty, robust flavor profile and balanced fat marbling, and Plantation Pigs prides itself on allowing these natural qualities to shine. By avoiding growth hormones and prioritizing welfare, they produce pork that’s both ethically raised and exceptionally tasty—perfect for HG Walter customers seeking flavor without compromise.
