Farm Tour
One of the most rewarding experiences for us at Perth Pork Products Ltd. is taking time out for visitors who would like to visit our farm, ask questions, meet the pigs and see just exactly how we approach the breeding and raising of healthy animals. From the echoing crunch of Wild Boar’s munching on walnuts (of which the collection and organization was started by our late friend Linda Walton.), to viewing regular pigs in a modern barn environment, we welcome visitors to give us a call and plan your next farm visit.
Farm Tours Take Approx 1.5 hours where you will see:
- A full walking tour of our farm as we explore and talk about our fields.
- Stand in our viewing room and look through clear windows into our regular pig barn.
- Visit the Tamworth and Berkshire,and learn about these pigs
- Head off to the bush and meet the Wild Boar, Stone Age and Iron Age Pigs
- Walk through our fields and crops and learn about feeding and keeping pigs healthy!
Note: We strongly recommend you bring a pair of older walking shoes or boots when joining us on the farm!
Family / Individual
We welcome small groups to our farms – bring along your family, or better yet, organize a block party and bring some of your neighbours – a great way to spend some time, bringing adults and kids together to learn about modern farm practices. We do not charge a flat rate at this time for family tours, but your donations are greatly appreciated at the end of the tour.
Group / Corporate Packages
We welcome bus tours and corporate groups to our farm. Contact us to today to inquire about group rates.
School / Educational
We take great pride in helping younger kids to learn and become more aware of the sources of their food, and the relationships we have with the animals we eat. We are constantly amazed at the insightful, inspiring questions that children ask us. Contact us today to arrange your next school visit!

A boaring job
Stratford area farmer Fred de Martines feeds day-old buns to his herd of wild boar, which he raises along with traditional pigs. The family has been raising boars since 1992 and market them both from their farm and local businesses. |
