Pigs at Trelay Farm
Trelay Farm offers excellent organically hand reared free range pigs and pork.
The Trelay Glouchester Old Spot Herd is an organically fed, hand reared, pedigree free range herd of beautiful pigs.
Our beautiful Old Spot pig herd was started nearly 2 years ago and originate from a local herd of pure breed prize winners at the Penpethic Farm Herd where our current breeding sows originated from. We have been exceptionally fortunate to 'secure' the services of one of the biggest and most healthy breeding boars in the country. Paddy - a Patrick sire from a prize winning Boar has been active in producing 2 amazingly beautiful litters.
