Welcome to Beech Tree Farm!

Based at Ham, Near Sandwich, in South East Kent we are a farm that specialises in producing quality free range Pork, all our pigs are pedigree Berkshire's which is a recognised rare breed.

The Berkshire pig breed originated in the Thames Valley, in about 1790.  The breed was further improved in the 1800's by Lord Barrington, and during the 19th Century the breed became very popular, one noted Patron was Queen Victoria.

Many rare breeds suffered serious decline due to changes in demand during World War II and the development of commercial breeding companies in the 1960's.  This favoured the larger white breeds and led to the commercial pig of today.  However due to a few dedicated stalwarts the Berkshire breed survived.

The Berkshire is recognised as a rare breed and is on the endangered list.  As a members of the British Pig Association and the Berkshire Pig Breeders Club we are fully committed to producing top quality breeding stock for the future, and in doing this we also have the opportunity to produce traditional pork, reared out doors, which provides quality meat with plenty of taste.
