County Quality

BEST OF THE BACON

St. Edmunds Bacon Factory is an officially appointed curing centre for three ‘County Quality’ Bacon Associations and one of less than 12 factories in the country producing this top quality English bacon with its traditional Wiltshire cure.
EAST ANGLIAN FARMERS maintain pork qualify The St Edmunds Bacon Factory Ltd. at Elmswell has always been a local enterprise. Started by East Anglian farmers more than 50 years ago, it is still the only independent farmers’ co-operative factory in the United Kingdom. Each week St. Edmunds purchase over £30,000 worth of pigs from farmers throughout East Anglia. This is a powerful demonstration of the company’s vital links with — and investment in — local farming. Fresh Pork St. Edmunds sausages and pies are popular all over the Eastern Counties and as far afield as London and the Midlands, where the company has active sales depots. In addition to its branded products, the factory also supplies fresh porkClite and carcases, bacon sides and joints, hams and cooked meats – delivered direct by its own fast fleet. St. Edmunds Bacon Factory Ltd. has been recognised as one of this country’s leading bacon curers since as far back as 1911, when the company was originally founded by a small number of enterprising Suffolk farmers. These far-sighted forebears of the present company at Elmswell, Bury St. Edmunds, began by processing their own pigs and selling them wholesale on the London market. Today the St. Edmunds organisation produces a range of pork and bacon products undreamed of by its founders and is particularly well known for its famous prime pork sausages and delicious pork pies. St. Edmunds bacon, with its distinctive Wiltshire cure, is known as far afield as the Midlands and the London area.
