Our pasture raised Berkshire pork is the most flavorful, tender, and moist pork you will ever eat. There are several unique factors that contribute to our gourmet quality pork.
First, we abandoned the industry breeds that for decades have been bred to make pork more like chicken. (Hence the term, "the other white meat".) After much research, we settled on the heritage Berkshire breed, also known as Kurobuta pork. The Berkshire breed is a hearty breed that adapts well to a variety of climates. Since we live in the high desert mountains with hot dry summers and cold snowy winters, the Berkshire breed is ideal. A pig that thrives in extreme conditions will produce higher quality meat than a pig that is suffering because it has being kept outside when it has been bred for indoor production.
Berkshire (Kurobuta) pork is known throughout the world for its superior meat quality. It is often referred to as the "Kobe beef" of pork. Berkshire pork has fat finely marbled throughout the meat. This gives the pork moisture, lots of flavor, and tenderness.
As if this wasn’t enough, our pork is pasture raised making it nutrient dense in Omega 3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). We feed our pigs locally grown alfalfa/grass hay, Utah grown grains (wheat, barley, oats, and triticale), and fresh produce. We never feed our pigs bread, old donuts, slop, or restaurant scraps. Not only are these foods unhealthy for pigs, but they also contribute to poor quality pork. Our pigs are raised naturally without antibiotics or growth promoters/hormones. We treat our pigs humanely and handle them gently. Our pigs are the happiest pigs you have ever seen. In fact, our neighbors often tease us for spoiling our animals. We take it as a compliment.
We are confident that you will find that all of these practices make a huge difference in the taste and quality of our meat. Our pork is now being featured in local Utah restaurants and we usually have a customer wait list for our pork. This many chefs and customers can’t be wrong. The best part is that our pork is actually cheaper than the price you pay at the store! You choose how your pork is processed and we are always happy to make recommendations if you need guidance.
