These days more and more people are becoming aware of how our food is
produced. To help them make an informed decision on where, what and
who to buy from they are interested in receiving more information concerning
both animal and human welfare. Much of the food sold today has
added colours, flavours and preservatives, most of the meat has been
produced from animals fed on a cocktail of chemicals.
Appleby's Organic, Free Range Pork has nothing
added and nothing taken away!
We are certified by the UK's leading organic body, The Soil
Association.
A lot of people think that going organic is merely jumping on the bandwagon
to make more money, if that were the case everybody would be organic. The Soil
Association have very strict guide lines on how animals MUST be reared and crops
be grown; they carry out spot checks and unannounced farm visits as well as a
yearly inspection to ensure the highest standards are being met and maintained.
Rearing animals in a natural environment also means
making sure they want for nothing. In simple terms, farming organically is
turning the clock back to the days when animals were reared naturally
without the routine use of antibiotics and growth promoters. We at
Appleby's believe that our animals should be able to exhibit their
natural behaviour where ever possible. Not every one is able to change
their farming methods to organic due to the labour intensive regime
required to rear animals outside.
Total trace ability and animal welfare guaranteed.
We at Appleby’s Organics sell only what
we produce and rear ourselves. Many other food outlets source and sell
products from a variety of producers outside their own farm therefore
total trace ability and animal welfare cannot be monitored or
guaranteed. The Reality
Appleby's believe it is better to have lived a happy, natural life than to never have lived at all.
Our pigs enjoy all the freedom possible and in return we enjoy undoubtedly
some of the finest Free Range Organic Pork on the market.
We have hopefully answered some of your questions but would like to
answer all of them so please E-mail or telephone.
