Vert et Plein Air
British rare breed pigs ethically raised in the Nouvelle Aquitaine to produce healthy, tasty pork.
Vert et Plein Air
Welcome to Vert et Plein Air, the small family farm in Availles Limouzine, France! Our farm specialises in British pork, sausages, bacon & pork pies from rare breed pigs, raised outdoors. We focus on ethical and sustainable farming practices, producing healthy meats without chemicals.
Our Farming Team.
At Vert et Plein Air, we truly are a small family farm, we don't have a team of employees hiding in the wings, its just us navigating our farming life, with husband Al working off the farm to make ends meet and me holding the fort down at home with two small children and a whole bunch of pigs. But with a passion for all things pig, and a keen ambition to provide our family and wider community with healthy, high welfare, heritage, low mileage pork, we make it work, and we are proud to be transparent about our farming practices and daily life - catch up with us on social media and see all our trials and achievements each day, or sign up for our month newsletter.
