ANNA LONGTHORP “Drewton’s are just as passionate about food as I am about our pigs and they have won a number of awards this year using Anna’s Happy Trotters produce in their sausage rolls. Their baker, Kath Brown has done a great job with them and they are flying off the shelves!” The site at Hayton Grange is marvellous to behold if you are in any way interested in pig farming or in pigs generally. Anna has clearly hit on the right idea at the right time – and in this day and age when animal rights activists are looking for any opportunity to criticise, this is one part of the world where they must also give a little smile. You have only to look at the pigs here to understand that they are living a stress-free existence. Anna’s talents are not only being recognised by local farm shops. TV chef Rosemary Shrager is at the head of the queue in supporting what she is doing. Rosemary said: “Anna’s Happy Trotters is some of the best pork I have ever tasted in my life. Anna has a rare talent. She is passionate about quality and this shows in her product.” Praise indeed! But Anna is quick to point out that it is the team behind her that deserves recognition. “The level of stockmanship on our farming enterprise here at Hayton is very important. We have always been proud of our welfare standards throughout our farming operation and any award we have received is really down to the compassion of our hardworking team.” ANNA’S HAPPY TROTTERS Yorkshire Free Range Pork 01430 433030 07734 386402 [email protected] Now tastier! Now the market-leading BOCM PAULS starter ranges have an irresistable new flavour designed to maximise piglet appeal. The new formulation has been extensively tested in research centres and on-farm trials where it’s been shown to produce significant increases in feed intake and live weight gain. We offer: - Business Advisors - Accounts and Audits - Tax Planning - Tax Compliance - VAT, Bookkeeping and Payroll It’s quite simple - the piglets enjoy what they eat, they eat more, they grow more. We’ve also added a new starter diet, Vitostart 226, created especially to fit in to the BOCM PAULS Recommended Feeding Range, providing a smooth transition from weaning to starter.
