There are eight Berkshire piglets for sale. Berkshire pigs are said to be "Britain's oldest pig breed", originally bred around the market-towns of Faringdon and Wantage, in the Vale of the White Horse in the English county of Berkshire. Berkshire pork, prized for juiciness, flavour and tenderness, is pink-hued and heavily marbled. Its high fat content makes it suitable for long cooking and high-temperature cooking.
We raise purebred unregistered and partbred Berkshire pigs.
We operate a 150 acre farm in beautiful Oak Hills, situated just 10 minutes north of Belleville and the 401.
