This is a special interview with author and farmer Alice Percy, part of our Women of the Land series with Chelsea Green Publishing.
In her new book, ‘Happy Pigs Taste Better’, Alice draws on a decade of experience raising pigs on pasture to bring you (the first book of it’s kind) an in-depth guide to organic, high-welfare pig farming on both smaller and larger scales. In this interview Abby sits down with Alice to talk about how pigs raised on pasture are different to intensively reared ones, how to utilise their rooting instinct as part of a holistic system, and the joy of new piglets.
