Tamworth Pigs
We have 2 female Tamworth pigs on the Farm Park who are the mothers to our growing Tamworth piglets. Tamworth pigs are easily recognisable due to thier orange colour. Our Tamworth pigs enjoy spending their days cuddled up, sleeping in their big straw beds.

Our Tamworth pigs enjoy spending their days cuddled up, sleeping in their big straw beds. The pigs eat special pig feed which they get every morning and evening. You will know when it is the pigs feeding time as they make lots of noise.
The 6 tamworth piglets we have on the farm are all females. Our piglets take after thier mothers and get very excited when it gets to feeding time. As with our mothers you will usually find the piglets all cuddled up sleeping.
