Pork
Our Hampshire pigs and Tamworth pigs are raised alongside our other animals.
Known in pork circles as the bacon pig, our Tamworth pork is extremely lean and raised on pasture with a minimum of feed inputs, a great natural choice.
We also raise a small number of classic farm breeds such as Hampshires and spotted hogs. These are raised in our hayshed where they compost the cattle bedding from the previous winter using the ‘pigaerator’ technique coined by Joel Salatin at Polyface Farm.
We will have pork available in the fall.
Acorn-finished Pork
Our Acorn-finished pigs finish in the autumn woodlands where they feast on acorns, hickories, walnuts, and roots, but just as importantly, they reinvigorate woodlands by reducing undergrowth, disturbing soils and adding organic material to the forest floor.
The same woodlands finishing techniques employed in Italy and Spain used to deliver world famous cured prosciutto and Jamon Serrano are used in a Kentucky hardwood forest to deliver an immensely flavorful pork.
Our pork is sold by the half or whole hog, as well as individual cuts. Available frozen year round. |
