English Large Black Pigs @ Upper Canada Heritage Meats
Took my students to visit Upper Canada Heritage Meats nr N Augusta ON (Canada) - as an example of a mixed-species farm, specializing in meats from heritage breeds - incl English Large Bkack pigs and Lincoln Red cattle. I have been in love with ELB pigs for years by photo only, so was thrilled to be able to see some in the flesh!
It was a raw day ... but the pigs were great! Recent arrivals: 28 piglets in 2 litters - only a few days old. Nothing cuter!

Pig Paradise Farm - UK
If you are interested in pigs then this is the site for you. Whether you keep pigs yourself, are thinking about keeping pigs or just love pigs because they are such intelligent, friendly and adorable animals we hope that you will visit this site often. You may even want to visit our farm in person.
At 'Pig Paradise' we keep a total of nine different breeds of pig which we selectively breed according to demand. These include the seven British rare breeds that are recognised by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust (RBST) and the very popular 'Oxford Sandy & Black' that is known as a 'reconstituted breed' plus the New Zealand 'Kune Kune'.
They also sell cool pig "arks" (huts) in different sizes/styles - here are two:
