This isn’t the pork you’re used to. We breed heritage hogs to produce meat that is marbled, tender, rich in color and full of flavor.  That means  we’re taking the best of “the way pork used to be” and making it even better.Â
Our swine herd represents a full-bodied mix of heritage breeds including Large Blacks, Gloucestershire Old Spots, Red Wattles, Durocs, Herefords, Berkshires and other heritage breeds.Â
