Sally Stockings and Her Pig Empire

Available for over a year

Following the death of her husband Andrew in 2010, Sally Stockings found herself at the helm of the family pig farming business. With four sons all wanting to follow in their father's footsteps, Sally vowed to not only continue Andrew's work - but also to expand and secure a profitable future for her boys. She now rears and finishes pigs on farms across the south of England and Wales and sells 4,000 pigs a week, supplying supermarkets up and down the country. She is one of the biggest outdoor producers in the UK and a hugely respected figure in the industry, although Sally would argue she's just "hanging on in there". Anna Jones travels to the Oxfordshire farm where the business began and talks to Sally, and her sons, about the driving force behind it all - family. Produced and presented by Anna Jones.
