Pastured Pork

How food is grown is important to us. Our pigs are fed Non-GMO feed and are raised on pasture as naturally as possible on silvopasture and wood lot environments. We truly believe that giving our animals a good life will result in the best possible product for our customers and our family.

If your only experience eating pork has been with conventionally-grown pork from the grocery store, you have been missing out! The conventional pork industry’s focus is to grow pork as quickly, efficiently, and inexpensively as possible. We have chosen a different approach - raising slower-growing pigs in a natural environment, resulting in what we believe is a superior product. Our pastured, heritage breed pork is darker than conventionally-raised pork and has exceptional flavor. Our heritage pork is richly marbled. Its fat is buttery without being chewy, providing a delicious, rich flavor that is hard to beat. Our heritage pigs also produce high-quality lard which is excellent for cooking, baking, and soap-making.

We are sold out for 2024! Our next processing date for pork will be in Fall of 2025

As of fall 2024, our current pork price is $3.75 per pound hanging weight, plus the cost of processing, which usually averages around $1.80 per pound hanging weight, depending on what cuts are chosen.  We are happy to partner with our processor, Pleasant Valley Meats in Farmville, VA, to provide high-quality pork for our customers.

A 2017 study found that pigs who received sun exposure (such as a pastured setting) increased the vitamin D nutritional quality of the pork produced compared to pork raised in conventional confinement operations (the standard practice for raising grocery store pork)?
