Our mangalitsa pigs are finished on the Appalachian mountain sides. There they find an abundance of wild cherries, raspberries, other fruits, roots, mountain plants, hickory nuts, acorns and so much more. This adds to their great fatty acid profile and helps create a flavor that you didn't know pork could have!
We rotate our pigs frequently depending on the size of the pigs and the herd. Rotating them keeps them from destroying the plants and landscape and in fact, helps regenerate the land as they gently disturb the ground and drop their manure to help fertilize the land. We also buy their supplemental grain from a local farm who is growing his grain regeneratively.
We are proud to use a local feed from Ernst Grain & Livestock that is tested GMO and glyphosate free. He uses no till practices which helps preserve the soil. We are proud to say he has converted many of his conventional farm neighbors to growing non-GMO, no till grain for him.
We use two local, family owned and operated USDA inspected butcher shops for our harvesting. We have toured their facilities and personally know the owners and employees. They strive for the same quality we do and treat the animals with the same care and respect we do.
Orders ship out every Monday. We use UPS 2nd day or 3rd day air depending on the time of year and location. You will receive a tracking number once your order ships. We pack our frozen pork in Styrofoam coolers with enough dry ice and ice packs to get to the destination +24 hours in case you can't get to your package right away. If you select pickup at farmer's market at checkout, we will get ahold of you about picking up at market. If there are any questions or issues with your order, or you need special shipping, please contact us.
