From feed, to farm, to fork
Cranswick was formed by a group of farmers in 1975. Since then, we have grown from a single mill in Yorkshire to the leading UK food producer we are today. We are proud to be a part of the British farming industry, our pig and poultry farming includes milling, genetics, breeding and growing, and is supported by a fully integrated supply chain ensuring traceability, integrity and sustainability.
British Pig Farming
Our dedication to producing the very best pork starts with our farms. We operate in all areas of pig production, from breeding and nursery through to finishing. We are committed to investing in our farms and in the health of our animals; as we strive for continual improvement.
Industry leading pig genetics
We strengthened our pig supply chain with the acquisition of JSR Genetics Ltd in 2025, an industry leading pig genetics company. This provides us with the opportunity to enhance animal health and consistently deliver exceptional eating quality in our products.
British Chicken Farming
We began to produce chicken with the acquisition of Crown Chicken in 2016. We are proud to be the first UK chicken producer to invest in the revolutionary Nestborn on-farm hatching system, improving the welfare of our birds. Today our chicken business is fully integrated from farm to fork.
British Milling
The original Cranswick Mill operated for over 30 years and we returned to milling with the acquisition of Crown Milling in 2016. Today we run milling facilities in Norfolk, Suffolk, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. Milling cereals, including wheat and barley, sourced from around the local area, producing the highest quality feed for our pigs and chickens.
Looking to diversify?
We have a thriving farming division which we are always looking to grow. The ability to adapt and embrace change has been fundamental to our longevity and continued success.
We offer independent farmers across Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, the Midlands, Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire the opportunity to diversify their own farming businesses into pig and poultry production, providing an additional income for their businesses through long-term aligned contracts.
