About Us
The Mutimer family have been rearing pigs outdoors since 1973 and in recent years have developed Swannington Farm-to-Fork into a multi-award winning rural business.
The animals are reared to the highest welfare standards and we are fully recognised by schemes such as the RSPCA's Freedom Food Scheme and the Red Tractor Assurance Scheme.
The meat has an exceptionally low "carbon footprint". All animals are slaughtered at the local abattoir just 3 miles away and the carcasses returned to mature to full flavour before butchering to your requirements.
Our awards and accolades include:
2019 EAT Norfolk Food & Drink Awards - Field To Fork
