11.11.24 – Suspension of Pannage Orders
Due to the unprecedented number of Pannage orders we have received, we have SUSPENDED Pannage orders for a little while, while we work through our list.
We anticipate that in approx. 10 days’ time, we will be back on sale.
Our partners for Pannage Pork, are Sarah & Andy Parry-Norton at Storms Farm in Cadnam. Their pigs roam completely free in the forest, the benefiting result is pork with the most incredible flavour & texture.
We open our Pannage order book on Friday 1st November. Collection / deliveries will start from Thursday 14th November. Orders will be made up in numerical order, and we will advise you when your order will be ready.
Due to the anticipated high demand this year, I’m afraid you can’t specify a delivery or collection date.
A deposit of 50% will be required for all Pannage orders please.
Please note we will have Pannage Sausages available in the shop, these will not be available to pre-order. We may also have Pannage Bacon, however Mike will decide on this, once he has seen the pigs in the fridge!

Pannage is the practice of releasing pigs in a forest, so that they can feed on fallen acorns, beechmast, chestnuts or other nuts. Historically, it was a right or privilege granted to local people on common land or in royal forests across much of Europe.
Especially in the eastern shires of England, pannage was so prominent a value in the economic importance of woodland that it was often employed, as in Domesday Book (1086), as a measurement. Customarily, a pig was given to the lord of the manor for every certain number of pigs loosed de herbagio, as the right of pannage was entered.
Pannage is no longer carried out in most areas, but is still observed in the New Forest, where it is also known as common of mast. It is still an important part of the forest ecology, and helps the husbandry of the other New Forest livestock – pigs can safely eat acorns as a large part of their diet, whereas excessive amounts may be poisonous to ponies and cattle.
The minimum duration of the New Forest pannage season is 60 days, but the start date varies according to the weather – and when the acorns fall. The Court of Verderers decides when pannage will start each year. At other times, pigs are not allowed to roam on the forest, with the exception that breeding sows (known as “privileged sows”) are by custom allowed out, providing that they return to the owner’s holding at night and are not a nuisance. The pigs each have several nose rings clipped into their noses to prevent them rooting too much and causing damage to grassland.
