Have only just returned from internet-less, and I type hurriedly to save you from (what I consider) a slightly less happy life due to slight lack of information.
Free range pig products were (I believe, having hunted so very long for them quite a while ago) some of the first free range meat products to be easily available in supermarkets, and from what I've seen still are.
I agree with everything said about ducks, but do make sure to check Sainsbury's regularly as their free-range Gressingham ducks are often half-price (incidentally, those have been the ones I've been cooking).
Free range chicken has now become as easy to get as pork.
Of course, you mention economics, and all of this will cost you more. Duchy Originals stuff will also be pretty good and may be easier to get hold of in some supermarkets. Duchy Originals also support rare breeds, which is generally good. Another place to get free-range things are some of the butchers in the Covered Market (they're open on Saturdays so not as bad for working people as the other markets).
Anyway, good luck with this. Try not to turn too vegetarian!
