Heritage Porks

What is Pastured Pork?

Many pigs today are confined indoors, rarely seeing the sun or feeling the earth beneath them. This denies them the natural joy of foraging with their snouts in the dirt. In contrast, our pastured pigs revel outdoors, constantly moved to fresh pastures and indulging in organic vegetable scraps and grains.

Their natural diet and active lifestyle result in healthier muscles and richer fats, giving a unique flavor that indoor pigs simply can't match. While many pigs are bred solely for leanness or bacon, our heritage breed pigs are versatile, boasting a higher fat content and superior taste. More than just producing delicious pork, we're committed to preserving these special breeds and their rich genetics, ensuring a future where quality and heritage thrive.
