Cleave Farm is located on the edge of the Blackdown Hills AONB, overlooking Combe Water Valley. Rach and Nic moved to Cleave in 2021, and will be milking dairy cows from April, with milk sold to Wykes cheese makers based in Bruton, Somerset. Nic and Rach both bring extensive farming experience to the farm, Nic specialising in dairy herds and Rach in pig, sheep and beef suckler cow herds. They also have a small helper called Jack, who loves all animals and tractors.
Animal welfare and quality of life are at the heart of how the farm operates, alongside having a positive effect on the environment through minimising the farm's carbon footprint and increasing biodiversity.
The sows at Cleave have access to indoor and outdoor areas 24 hours a day, and as you can see are very happy pigs! The breeding sows Silver, Penny, Maple, Acorn and Pepper are a mixture of Gloucester Old Spot, Large White and Pietrain, which gives pork that is packed with flavour, and has a perfect amount of fat for cooking.
The sows are not pushed to farrow intensively as they would be in large scale pig units, having an average of three litters every two years.
After farrowing, the piglets stay with the sows for 8-10 weeks compared to 2-3 weeks in many intensive systems.
We are delighted to be able to provide local households and businesses with high quality pork. The animals are meticulously cared for from birth to plate, producing flavoursome pork. The welfare of the pigs and their quality of life is our top priority.
Cleave Farm Pork offers a range of products to suit every budget and business. From single joints and small meat packs, through to supplying local pubs and restaurants, and whole pig boxes.
