Choose British Bacon for Breakfast this Weekend
Posted by Meg
This weekend choose our delicious 100% British bacon for breakfast. For the bacon buttie lovers among you try our Organic Unsmoked Back Bacon grilled and sandwiched between two slices of our Multiseed Bread with a dollop of our Handmade Tomato Chutney - pure Duchy weekend bliss.
Our delicious bacon, sausages and ham are all made from Duchy pigs reared on farms in Gloucestershire and Norfolk . We have dedicated Duchy herds on the farms which means we can confidently trace our pork from farm to fork.
All of our pigs lead an active, outdoor life with typically two to three times more space than intensive operations and far more pasture, allowing them to root and forage. We strictly outlaw what we regard as cruel practices - like tail docking and tooth clipping and, because our weather is so unpredictable, we give our pigs straw bedded shelters to shelter in when we have a hot spot and to keep warm when it's cold.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating as they say and we believe that the quality of our meat reflects the quality of care our pigs receive.

Why is it so difficult to buy Duchy Original goods. I used to be able to get jam and marmalade from Asda, who no longer stock it. I have telephoned the major supermarkets in the area (north-west) to no avail. I really would like to support you but you make it very difficult.
