What is the difference between Free Range Pork and Standard Pork??
The pigs have free access to open space where they can display their natural instincts rather than being confined in concrete pens or on slatted floors commonly seen in many intensive systems. The most well known comparison is the difference between a free range hen and a battery hen as shown by Hugh Fernley Whittingstall and Jamie Oliver in their celebrity TV programmes. The difference in welfare to the animals, whether chickens or pigs, is enormous and allows them to lead much happier, more natural and less stressful lives. The difference in quality is also considerable as a longer, more natural living pig produces pork with better succulence and more flavour.
