Acaster Herd of Pedigree Pigs

The Acaster herd was formed in 1946 when a change of farms brought about a new herd. Previously known as the Fulford herd established in the early 1920s.theAcaster herd continues a family tradition of showing, breeding and retailing of pedigree pigs. Originally founded on the middle white and then the Welsh, today’s herd consists of traditional and modern breeds to suit the demands of the future.

The family ,Richard ,Trisha ,Charlotte , Georgina, Matthew, Camilla, and Alyssia all believe in the necessity of keeping the traditional breeds going forward by the way of breeding, showing and informing the general public how good they taste.

We produce pigs for breeding and for eating and supply retailers who sell into many specialist areas of the food industry. Local pubs and hotels also sell our home produced pork on their menus.

The Acaster herd currently consists of:
