Rhonllwyn Contract Pig Rearing Development Project

The Ingram family have explored alternative income streams to counter a recent reduction in turnover, and have identified a trading opportunity with Stockcroft Ltd to rear and finish high welfare commercial pigs for direct supply to Waitrose and M&S.

As a result, the family are seeking support through SPG for investment over the next 18 months in:

  • New Pig Shed/Unit, concrete turning/wash yard, feed bins, effluent tanks, loading ramps, etc
  • Digital Weig hing scales linked to the EID reader that the farm is current using
  • Heavy duty industrial pressure washer - needed to clean & disinfect the shed between each batch of pigs

They also seek support for investment in the following:

  • 16,000 kW PV Solar systems on buildings at Rhonllwyn
