I think you'd have to raise it yourself.  Pigs in this country are raised on corn,
mostly. Pigs in Britain before corn showed up were raised in wooded land, on
acorns, chestnuts, mushrooms, and all kinds of fruits and roots.  Those were the
days when the forests produced such abundance that the small human population
couldn't begin to eat it all.

The Gloucester Old Spot (rare breed pigs) in more recent times were kept in
orchards to keep down the grass and eat the fallen apples, and also were fed
waste dairy products as well as food scraps.  You'd have to be a real pioneer to
do that today; the "modern" approach is the warehouse pork factory.
