HG Blake takes great pride in only supplying locally sourced British Pork. Over sixty years, we have strived to identify and partner with a number of pig producers within the Eastern region who share our values and deliver a superior product. From our trusted, traceable and sustainable source, we are able to supply pig carcases, primal cuts and pork trim.
We work with local farms to ensure the finest pork is produced
HG Blake is proud of its ability to buy pork sourced from local farms. We work closely with the producers, sharing our knowledge and experience gained over 60 years of processing animals to ensure that the finest pork is produced.
Along with the processing of local pigs, such as Blythburgh free range pork, we also offer cutting services to smallholders, parting knowledge and expertise on methods and welfare to maintain the highest quality standards we strive for at HG Blake.
We have a strict selection process for our pork to guarantee quality and consistent results. All our carcasses are individually serial-numbered and slap marks are read and recorded. We use MLCSL classification/grading equipment to provide independent backfat measurement and the lean meat percentage calculations.
