OUR PORK

PASTURE-RAISED, HERITAGE BREEDS, NON-GMO and Certified O’ Grains

Our pigs are raised outdoors on large fields of pasture and woodlands. The pigs have many acres to root and munch on grass, clovers, flowering wild plants and herbs as well as to dig up cool, deep mud holes. We constantly monitor the impact the pigs have on the land and adjust their access and rotations according to the needs of the land and the pigs. The pigs are rotated through several paddocks to self-harvest crops such as oats and peas, rye, sudan grass and barley. The pigs are also allowed continuous access to a balanced blend of vegetarian grain.

FINISHING - THE KEY TO TASTY TASTY MEAT!

Our pork is great because we understand how to finish our pigs. "Finishing" refers to the final two+ months of care and feed provided to any animal. This period of time determines in large part how the animal will taste. It's vital to provide sufficient food sources for sufficient fattening and marbling of the muscle, which contributes to tenderness and juiciness. The type of feed also affects the flavor of the meat.

In addition, most seasons we try and Fall finish our pigs and either bring in apples or provide mast to the pigs in the form or acorns! You know what they say...you are what you eat. Eating sweet apples and tasty nuts = sweet flavorful and tasty meat!

Most of our pigs are "harvested" from late summer thru December with cuts available soon after. We offer whole hogs for sale as well as many different "sampler packs" which include assorted high-value cuts including chops, country-style ribs, sausage and hams. Bacon and other smoked products are sold separately as well as included in our "Smokin' Sampler."

HERITAGE BREEDS

We grow ONLY heritage breed pigs. We want the hardiness of the older breeds as well as the old-time taste and bit of fattiness that contributes to great tasting pork. No farmers-hybrids or pure white pigs here. Only the best breeds combined with healthy life outdoors make the best pork.
