Charcutier Ltd is a small charcuterie company in West Wales. At the moment it's just me, Illtud Llyr Dunsford, with an ever patient partner Liesel helping out when needed. I've got a crazy vision to convert our disused former milking parlour on the farm into a new processing space.
At the moment we produce traditionally cured British style bacons, a French ventréche and an Italian regional styled cooking pancetta. We also make traditional recipe British bangers that are both preservative and gluten free. Ou pork is either home-reared speciality Mangalitza or sourced from a co-operative of Pedigree Welsh Pig suppliers on the Gower peninsula.
So why set up a petition? Well, in order to convert the outbuilding we need grant funding. Usually as part of the grant application there'd be letters from wholesale and retail customers, but as we only sell direct to our customers we need your support! You don't have to be a customer to sign either, if you've read our blog, liked our ethos and want to support a small business that's trying to support British farming, traditionally made regional produce and good quality food then please, spare a moment to add your support.
I was just out in the old milking parlour thinking about how much space we actually need for the curing racks and honestly it feels like a mountain of paperwork but seeing your names roll in makes it feel real. The pigs are doing great and Liesel is currently trying to keep me from obsessing over the floor drainage plans again but we really need this grant to get moving.

The pancetta is unreal. Such a good idea to use the old farm buildings for this.
