WONDERFUL PORK
Rooster Dirt's Mangalista pigs taste wonderful, are tender if cooked correcctly (i.e., not too much) and high in omega 3s. Always a good choice!
"We had the most amazing pepper bacon this morning for breakfast. We've been "piggin out" on our 1/2 pig. We love it! You've really rocked our world and we are so grateful. Customer and friends for life now. Thank you." - Rick
pasture raised & acorn/hickory nut finished in the mountains. Often referred to as the "Kobe Beef Of Pork" with unparalleled taste and texture.
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 use regenerative farming practices that promote the health of the pigs, the soil, increases biodiversity and promotes overall ecological wellness. We give back more than we take from Mother Earth.
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.
Our feed is tested soy, GMO & Glyphosate Free
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 never use antibiotics, hormones, or chemical fertilizers
Ethically Raised, Meticulously Cared For, Humanely Harvested & Expertly Butchered
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.
Studies show mangalitsa pigs have higher amounts of Omega 3 fatty acids, Vitamin D and other nutrients than more conventionally raised pigs

"Very delicious pork chops, the meat is full of flavor and the fat is rich and buttery. It's tastier and healthier than any supermarket or local butcher around me that I could never go back. Rooster dirt farm is my new source for pork, can't wait to try the other cuts they offer." - Erik V.
