The Social Crust has a “vegetarian pig” quartered by a volunteer in Featherston.
It is fed on near-expiry salads, bread and milk from the supermarket till slaughter at 65 kg, when it’s processed into products like pork chops and pork loin roast.
“Then we buy another pig and do the whole thing again,” Peter Croft said.
Volunteers buy extra feed as it’s needed and care for the animal as “their contribution to the food bank.”
The group also works with WaiWaste.
“With Waiwaste in Martinborough there is absolutely no waste at all” from food premises.
