Taking a Stand

Pork Raised Crate-Free

Certified Humane or Global Animal Partnership Certified
All vegetarian feed*
Never given antibiotics or added hormones ever

We believe in better from the ground up—and that means reducing slatted floors and eliminating gestation crates and farrowing crates for hogs. Our hogs are raised on pastures or in hoop barns, with their natural tendencies, safety, and comfort in mind.Many of our pork products are sourced from pigs with heritage-breed lineage. These breeds include (but are not limited to) Duroc, Berkshire, and Chester White. Their natural, “old-world” genetics mean that during their slow maturation process, they develop the fine marbling and great marbling that mother nature intended them to have.Our hogs are fed an all-vegetarian diet and are raised with traditional, sustainable farming methods.

Trusting our partners

Our partners' operating methods are inspired by Dr. Temple Grandin, a member of the Humane Farm Animal Care Program's scientific committee. Their facilities are routinely inspected and approved by the USDA or a comparable agency.

Honoring our team

We believe in fair labor practices. In line with our family and community values, we seek partners who treat their employees as part of a team—and we’re ever thankful for that team.
