Growing Standards

We believe in raising pork the traditional and time-honored way using sustainable and humane growing standards. The result is a natural and premium product. And, you can taste the difference!

We also ensure that farmers receive a fair price for their livestock. This is important because the current hog marketplace is not open, fair or competitive for family farm hog farmers.
