Tim Wilson

Tim Wilson, founder and owner of The Ginger Pig chain of butchers, is one of the most respected meat producers in Britain. For many years, Tim farmed his own North Yorkshire pasture, producing cattle, sheep and pigs, with a passion for sustaining rare breeds. As the company has grown, Ginger Pig have worked to build a network of like-minded farmers to help supply their butchers’ shops with the best produce in the country. At the heart of everything Ginger Pig does is good animal husbandry and welfare – and livestock that is looked after well in the field simply tastes better on the plate. His shops have received many accolades, including Best Food Producer in the Observer Food Awards. His previous books are the Ginger Pig Meat Book and Ginger Pig Farmhouse Cook Book, both co-authored with Fran Warde and published by Mitchell Beazley. http://www.thegingerpig.co.uk
