A must view for Pork consumers

This episode of Straight Talk, a weekly programme on Country Channel 99, aired earlier in May and focuses on the fact that NZ Pork lost the battle against the government to prevent untreated pork meat being imported in our country. See what the implications are and the potential threat that the world's worse pig disease could destroy our Pork Industry. Watch Straight Talk on Youtube

Testimonial from Chef Al Brown

"One of the culinary highlights of my year, has been the discovery of a relatively new South Island based pork producer. Sue and Gus Morton of Waitaki Bacon and Ham are breeding 'happy pigs' in a healthy, hormone-free farm environment, where animal welfare is of paramount importance. All this care and effort directly relates to pork products of outstanding quality and taste. It has been an absolute pleasure cooking, eating and spreading the word about this first-rate producer promoting a 'Farm Gate To Plate' philosophy. It gets the big tick from me"
