At The Shropshire Boar Company, we're passionate about ethical farming and believe in raising our animals as closely as possible to the life they would lead in the wild. Our boars are free to roam an expanse of deciduous Shropshire woodland, with plenty of space to forage for roots, berries, insects, and various wild plants. We provide them with an all-natural diet of seasonal grains plus organic seasonal fruit, vegetables, and potatoes. Everything our boars eat is grown and harvested on our Shropshire site; even the spring water they drink comes from our site, supplied by an underground borehole!
Wild boar are not farm animals; as keepers, we hold a Dangerous Wild Animals license (DWA) and conform to strict set of regulations. These animals are not domesticated and can be incredibly dangerous, especially when nursing young. Our wild boar are superb examples, cross-bred from Bavarian and Russian strains: the Bavarian boar strain produces a thick-set, exceptionally powerful creature, which we combine with the longer, taller Russian strain for the best features of both breeds.
While we do have a full range of products ready to order in our online shop, we're also happy to produce other cuts of meat to fit your requirements. Get in touch with us to request a special cut of meat and if it's in stock, we'll deliver to suit you. If we are without stock in the cut you need, we will happily finish a boar to your requirements, on payment of a deposit.
