Get Started In Pig Keeping: Teach Yourself by Tony York

Buy from

We first met Tony York when we were at the start of our pig-keeping venture, back in 2003. He hosted a great course at Pig Paradise and we can vouch for his knowledge and expertise.

Get Started in Pig Keeping offers amateur pigkeepers everything they need to make a success of this increasingly popular pursuit. Whether you are interested in breeding pigs, in meat production, or just want the pleasure of their company, this book covers legalities, basic equipment, picking breeds, understanding behaviour and how to raise and slaughter pigs.

You’ll get all of the advice you need on daily maintenance of your animal, from feeding to cleaning, and find ample resources if you wish to produce your own meat – or even market and sell it at a local level.

About the author

Tony York has been running courses for amateur pig-keepers for over 10 years, and has seen the number of attendees triple in that time. He has made several television programmes on pigkeeping and is known in the community for his passionate commitment to furthering the cause of organic farming and smallholding as well as for his expert communication skills.
