About
Porcus People Limited have been farming in West Yorkshire for over 15 years with a constant focus on high welfare, high quality food production being at the core of the business. With an eclectic mix of backgrounds they have dedicated themselves to using food and farming to give back to the planet. This has resulted in award winning products and a loyal customer base and, most recently, completion of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's global Big Food Redesign Challenge.
Key Benefits
A novel high quality product which is gluten free and stable at ambient temperatures reaches a new market for ready meals. The product also saves energy during transport and storage due to its ambient nature increasing profitability and adding flexibility to retail opportunities. The extended shelf life (12m +) allows for a more robust supply chain and less reliance on just in time supply chains. Further development of the product will allow for seasonal production to maximise ingredient quality whilst minimising costs.
Applications
The product is ideal for many retail outlets as it allows for minimal wastage upon stocking and an appeal to multiple markets including outdoor activities (camping, second homes, hospitality), home groceries (challenging the take away market) and has potential for vending systems.
