We are now in the age of video, I wouldn’t be surprised if the highway code was soon available on DVD! So here is a video about BigBarn. Please let us know what you think and forward it to your friends. The more people who buy local food the better. Buying direct will encourage your local farmers to grow a wider range of produce and you can influence production methods and animal welfare.

Where to buy good pork

Friday, February 13th, 2009

PigsWell done Jamie and Channel4. Pigs are getting an unnecessarily hard time and we should know all about it to make the right decision on what to buy, especially if the meat is laced with additives and antibiotics.

To see more on my view click here for some of the dodgy practices and a video visit http://www.pigbusiness.co.uk.

So where do we buy proper pork?

Wherever you usually buy pork should be OK as long as it is British, where we have higher animal welfare standards, and at least Freedom Food. For more have a look at www.freedomfood.co.uk and use the BigBarn map to find a producer or retailer.

Or if you are worried about the label and would like to ask someone about how the pork you buy has been produced, or even see for yourself, use our Free Range Pork map or type your postcode here and scroll around your local producers.
