On Easter Sunday, twelve pigs were released on forest pasture on Moster\u00f8y outside Stavanger. It is the eighth year the married couple Rettedal has pigs on forest pasture. – We see they like themselves outside. They have curls on the tail, and it is drawn on a happy pig, says Anders Schanche Rettedal. It was in 2017 that he and Inger Lise Rettedal were contacted by restaurants who wanted free -range pigs. It was after the Food Safety Authority’s disclosures about Norwegian pig teams. – Then we tried a little then, and got a good hearing in the market. Since then we still have. Here, this year’s pigs are released into the forest at Klosterg\u00e5rden to Inger Lise Rettedal and Anders Schanche Rettedal. Video: Inger Lise Rettedal – We have great demand for these pigs, says Inger Lise Rettedal to \u00d8yposten, who first mentioned the case. The price quadrupled the married couple also has a pig. But the price they get for the pig is much higher than what they get for the pig. Around NOK 30 kilo for pigs, and around NOK 120 kilo for the piglet. Anders Schanche Rettedal dropped pork on the forest 1st on Easter Sunday. Photo: Private – There is almost twice as much feed for the piggy down as the pig, and then it takes twice as long before they are ready for slaughter. But it is still profitable for us, says Anders Schanche Rettedal. – Why don’t you have more than twelve pigs out if it is profitable? – It is hugely area -intensive because pigs love to mess. They plow up the soils and turn everything. We do not want the entire island here to be plowed up. Now they are walking in a fenced area that other pigs have already plowed up. The pigs have an outbuilding with high where they are most of the time. Because they move no more than 20 percent of the time. Photo: Inger Lise Rettedal wants the pigs in just one percent of the pigs in Norway going out. In connection with the government’s animal welfare report that came last fall, there were several organizations, including Noah, who wanted it to be a requirement that the pig should be more out. But the Norwegian Farmers’ Association was among those who opposed their wish. – The pig is a slightly special animal because it is exposed to a lot of infection. It has as mucous membranes as us. When out, it is more prone to infection than inside. It is not good animal welfare to expose the pig to more infection, says Rogaland Bondelag St\u00e5le Hustoft. Still, he likes what happens at Klosterg\u00e5rden of the Rettedal couple. – I applaud niche production where there is extra willingness to pay. It is absolutely great. Then I know that on this farm there are no other herds nearby, and thus no danger of transferring any infection. The pigs for Rettedal are located in a forest area at Moster\u00f8y in Rogaland Photo: Inger Lise Rettedal pigs who go out at Rettedal are the same type as the pig. It is a cross breed that is bred to grow fast. – When they are released, they get a lot more exercise and they move over great distances. They grow later. Animals that grow later usually get better fat in the meat, and different and better taste. We keep them longer than we wanted to do with them, so it will be a fatter pig. Food waste becomes food pigs Rettedal sells the meat for restaurants, and also makes some products that they sell both in farm sales and for restaurants. – We notice that many consumers are concerned with how the animals have been in their lives. The pigs to Rettedal also help to reduce food waste. They have an agreement with the local grocery store to take over fruits and vegetables to be thrown. Every six months they get between 6-8 tonnes of fruit and vegetables that otherwise had gone in the garbage. – This is a store with a customer base of about 2000. It says something about how much food is thrown in Norway when we get so much fruit and vegetables from this store. We help food waste turn into food pigs. Published 30.04.2025, at. 05.26
