Lifestyle
In the summer, the pigs roam through the woodland, benefiting from its shade and coolness. In their turn, the pigs benefit the forest by clearing its floor throughout the summer months. In winter, because contact with damp tree roots could be harmful, the pigs have the run of the stubble fields. This also enables the pigs to be on a carefully monitored winter feeding programme to maintain their body condition. Since managing the pigs in their natural forest environment, their characters have changed remarkably. Instead of reverting to wild ways, the pigs are mild-mannered, tame and trusting. The animals are checked every day by farm staff. Pigs are treated using homeopathic remedies, with veterinary surgeons brought in regularly to assess them with the emphasis firmly on prevention rather than cure.

Traceability
All Goodwood livestock can be traced on every step of their journey from field to plate. Home Farm is accountable to the Soil Association and Trading Standards, but additionally has its own traceability audit system in place which sees the Farm Director, Manager, Food and Beverage Manager and Health and Safety Manager following an animal from farm to slaughterhouse to meat processing, to ensure that they can be completely confident that they have full traceability on every cut of meat from the farm to the customer.

Products
Home Farm supplies a full range of organic pork products for private entertaining and corporate events at Goodwood House, with various cuts featuring on the menu.
