Now there's a new way to participate in our "Pig in a Day" course.

 

As well as the full day at River Cottage HQ and the DVD, we've added a unique new method for you to experience the full detail of the River Cottage Pigs and Pork philosophy. This is the River Cottage on-line Pig in a Day course.

In this course you will learn the basic principles of good pig husbandry, the process of butchering a pig, and how to make your own air-dried hams, brine-cured hams, brawn, bacon, sausages, chorizos and salamis.

The course isn't just for pig keepers. You'll find it invaluable when buying your pork from your butcher or farmer.

You certainly don't need to have your own pig to try out the selection of River Cottage recipes, which range from the simple to the more adventurous. All of the content is explained using video tutorials from Hugh and Ray, along with step-by-step guides which can be printed out. At the end of the course, you will be able to use everything but the oink!

The course contains:
- Over 60 mins of Video - instruction, tips and recipes
- A complete guide to using every part of the Pig - nose to tail, everything but the oink
- Over 35 other River Cottage Pork recipes
(In fact more than the one day course and the DVD put together!)
And, all of this can be accessed and enjoyed again and again...

This course is suitable for small-holders, home pig-rearers, or just people who want more from their pork!


As this is online it is entirely interactive, you can decide which bits of the course are appropriate to you. And you can complete them at your own leisure. We've added a 'coursebook' and it will remember which section you've completed as you go along. You can add your own notes, on the techniques, your experiences and recipes - to make a complete reference for you for the future. You can add to this at any time. When you've completed the course, we'll even automatically send your own personalized course certificate, signed by Hugh and Ray to say you've finished!

Throughout the process on line, you can consult our wide range of FAQs and if there's not an answer, ask your own.

In addition, a full list of other resources is also in the course structure, suppliers of hardware, tools, machinery, feed, pig breeders, books etc. In fact everything you could possible need to know.

If you are interested in this course why not become a River Cottage Member for £35?  As well as all the other benefits, this will mean that access to all our online courses will be free! 

Or if you come to our Pig In A Day events at RCHQ, this online course is free for attendees.  See our Events section for availability.
