Pipers Farm: Farmers Doing it Differently - Episode 116 - Peter Greig


Listen Later

Hey there and welcome to the we move podcast.

So today we are speaking to Peter Greig from Piper's farm. Peter is not only a generational farmer but also a generational retailer in the sense that the produce the farms grew, they also sold directly through their own family food retail business.

Pipers farm started as something different, by Peter to become a destination for meat that is produced sustainably and in harmony with nature. As a retailer it creates links between ethical producers who they know and trust.

They believe in Family farms not factory farms moving away from the industrialisation spreadsheet farming Peter talks about seeing first hand, whilst supporting native breeds of animals bringing the idea of local food even more close to its natural source. All Whilst supporting the idea that as a society it’s important to eat less meat and that we do eat has been raised and produced in a way that has respect for the animal, respect for the farmer and respect for the landscape. the 3 vital components in the world of farming that the industrialisation process soon forgets in favour of a supplier code and a lead time.

Pipers are UK based and they are amongst a small but growing number of food retailers doing things differently including Riverford, Ethical Butcher, not to mention the smaller more local farm shops and retailers that can be found in most cities. You might have to change your view of a food retailer mind you as they will surprisingly be selling less clothes, electrical goods and other such stuff in favour of natural, fresh, nutrient dense real food.
