Home Farming opportunities with Pilgrim’s Europe Pilgrim’s Europe’s New Build Opportunities in B&B pigs
The method of contract pig rearing that we operate has worked successfully for over 40 years and has allowed many young entrants to establish themselves in the farming industry and to grow further with us over time.
Several of our farmers have been with us for many years and we are now dealing with the grandchildren of some of our original farmers – a real success story across the generations.
Pilgrim’s Europe pay a batch bonus on top of all the standard payments aiming to cover the monies needed to both cover the loan and interest payments. After 20 years the building is paid off and the payments cease.
We have standard buildings, which we know will meet all our targets in producing a profitable pig. both RSPCA assured and Red Tractor assured.
At all times through the process of becoming a BQP supplier, specialist BQP staff provide support and guidance to ensure the farmer is proceeding in the right direction. By being very thorough in this process we ensure the farm will operate successfully later.
