Welcome to the Irish Pig Society

Where free-range pigs are our passion

The inspiration of the Irish Pig Society

The concept of the Irish Pig Society was founded in 2013 to promote ‘non-intensive’ Irish pig farmers and pig enthusiasts, alike.

Our members are all likeminded people who are enthusiastic and passionate about rearing pigs in a non-intensive way and allowed to be raised in a free-range environment. As a society our objectives are to create an umbrella organisation for Irish pig breeders, pork producers and interested or related organisations; to create an Irish Herd Book and registration facility for pedigree pigs in Ireland; to support and promote new and existing pig enterprises; and last but by no means least to organise shows and competitions, which is a fantastic way of putting a face to a name and a takeaway of ideas.

 

Our Journey, working hand in hand with our members

Whether you are a first-time pig owner or a person who has had a herd over many years, you will soon come to realise that pigs are intelligent and more overly curious about the world around them, which adds many facets to pig keeping. 

Here in the Irish Pig Society Community, there is a combination of knowledge and experience in rearing pigs which is raised in a free-range environment.

The Irish Pig Society’s members are now nationwide, communication is key to our success, so having ways to share information is important to us. We have many ways of instant messaging each other for guidance and suggestions,  such as our very active group on WhatsApp.

By joining us today, you will be part of that journey with the promise that we are with you all the way.
