Free Range Pork, Lamb and Eggs
Welcome to Hillside Free Range, where we keep, raise and breed rare breed pigs, native sheep and keep free range chickens.
Our aim is to produce the best quality meat and eggs by looking after our animals to the highest possible standards. Our products can only be bought direct from us.
Hillside is based in Somerset at the foot of the Mendip hills near the village of Loxton. Weston Super Mare and Cheddar Gorge are either side of us. I run Hillside as a low input traditional system, where the sheep are grass fed, the pigs free range, supplementing their gm free diet with roots and whatever vegetation they fancy in their run. We also feed the pigs a great deal of fresh fruit and vegetables from our own veg patch as well as using over date fruit and veg from local suppliers.
The hens range over a field of just under one acre (and sometimes a little further afield) They are fed organic layers pellets in the morning and organic corn in the evening. I supplement this with fresh fruit, and the hens will pick at things as they wander around the field too. This autumn they have particularly enjoyed the blackberries in the hedgerows.
We sell our Free Range GM Free pork from our rare breed pigs direct to local customers in Somerset and South Wales, we also have small group of customers in Oxfordshire. Butchered to your requirements and available in 3 different sizes, there’s a box suitable for everyone.
We sell our Black Welsh Mountain lambs direct to local customers in Somerset and South Wales too. Again we can butcher these to your requirements, large or small joints, lambs are sold as whole or half lambs.
In addition you can buy our lambskins as rugs and fleeces, and we have further products coming over the next couple of months.
