Having run a pig farm since 1987, in 1995, Ian & Sue Whitehead decided to diversify into pork products – since this point, Lane Farm have developed dry cured bacon, added value pork products such as Suffolk Roast, hams, black pudding, chorizo and Suffolk Salami. Having sold their breeding herd four years ago, Lane Farm now link with a local pig farmer and collect the pigs at 4-6 weeks old and rear and finish them at Lane Farm. All produce is sold through local farm shops, delicatessens, hotels and restaurants, as well as regularly attending Farmers Markets.
