Our journey to Graig Wales began with a dream: to raise animals naturally, produce food with real provenance, and reconnect with the land.
Originally from Hertfordshire, we moved to the Cambrian Mountains in 2017, drawn by the promise of a simpler life and the opportunity to create something truly special. When we found Fferm Graig, a rugged, neglected smallholding, something just felt right.
We knew this was where our story would begin.
What followed was a steep learning curve. We started with Highland cattle to naturally improve the pasture, then moved on to sheep, ducks, and chickens (the latter were less successful thanks to local foxes!). But it was pigs that truly captured our passion. Learning from Ella’s experience on a commercial pig farm, we committed to doing things differently - prioritising animal welfare, sustainability, and traditional butchery methods.
Today, we breed and raise our own pigs and sheep, grow many of our own ingredients, and produce high-quality, small-batch meats that honour the animals and the land they come from.
Our charcuterie journey is the latest step in this adventure, bringing our handcrafted, ready-to-eat products to an even wider audience. We’re proud to be part of a growing movement that values transparency, quality, and real food.
Thank you for supporting our smallholding and sharing in our story.
