Item Description
1/2 Pastured raised Heritage Hog. Available Spring 2021. Tangletown will cover processing and packaging.
Heritage refers to breeds that were common before the rise of industrialized agriculture, particularly prior to World War II.
Heritage is to meat what heirloom is to vegetables—traditional breeds being revived for a wider range of flavors.
The reason chefs are so excited about heritage pork is simple: the taste. Different breeds have different fat-to-lean ratios, different-sized cuts, and even distinctive flavors that bring more bang to the table than industrial raised, bred-to-be-lean, and other-white-meat pork. Plus, farmers who bother to raise heritage breeds are also likely to raise them on pasture, allowing the pigs to live like pigs as much as possible, which also allows the meat to develop more flavor. Humanly raised in a sustainable way, you can be sure that you are eating clean organic pork.
