First Pigs Arrive at Carlton Towers

Date: 3rd July 2015 | Author: sophie

These are our delightful Oxford Sandy and Blacks living a lovely life in the walled garden at Carlton. It is so hard not to fall in love with them as they are simply bursting with character.

These handsome creatures very much represent a new exciting project at Cooks, the Carlton School of Food. Cooks is not just about cooking, but rather about the whole story of food from start to finish, how it is grown and produced, and how it is prepared and finally cooked. This historic breed of pigs, which are known to be natural foragers, are an ideal addition to Carlton Towers estate. With acres of woodland for the Oxford Sandy and Blacks to roam freely around, Carlton is the perfect backdrop for these exquisite pigs favoured by many for their lean memorable pork and excellent quality bacon and ham.
