Peter Gott started producing wild boar pig meat in 1993, when his brother gave him four wild boar gilts as a joke. And it’s just gone from there. The farm has about eighteen acres of coniferous woodland – an ideal habitat for wild boar. We now have about one hundred and fifty wild boar stock. The wild boar is reared on conventional pig-feed, but all additives and growth promoters are excluded.
