CRESSY FARM pork, dry-cured bacon, sausages and other pork products are high quality, guaranteed to be sourced from the free-range pigs that we have grown ourselves in Canterbury, a little west of Christchurch.

CRESSY FARM is a brand that recognises that today’s consumer wants to know that the food they eat will not only taste good, but it has been grown in a healthy environment and has been processed with minimal use of unwanted additives so common now in many foods.  Our goal is to provide you with an enjoyable eating experience every time.

Pork is the world’s no. 1 meat, yet many New Zealanders still hesitate to include pork in their weekly meal plan.  We would like to change that and Cressy Farm aims to change consumers’ ideas about pork quality.

CRESSY FARM has sows living free range, with huts containing straw bedding and with space to graze, sunbathe and do what pigs do.  Not a stall or crate in sight!

The grower shed is fully open to the sun on the north side and grower pigs are on sawdust bedding, with feed and water available 24 hours.  They have room to move around, dig into the sawdust and play with their pen-mates.

While we are not an organic farm (feed costs are already high enough!), we aim to provide a low stress, healthy environment for all our pigs that means we do treat any sick animals but do not use growth hormones or antibiotic growth promotants.  Because of this environment we are classed as a high-health pig farm with naturally low disease levels.

Overall, our farming system results in tender, tasty, juicy pork!
