Meet Uncle Kenneth
Uncle Kenneth is 90 years old and still wears the pig belt buckle he earned at age 10 for raising the most feed tonnage—a symbol of a lifetime dedicated to farming. What started when he was six, feeding the family sow and earning his first gilt, grew into a 350-sow operation built on pasture and care long before “sustainable farming” was a term.
Because Uncle Kenneth didn't just teach Brandon how to raise pigs. He taught us what it means to do something right, to take your time, to prioritize quality over everything else.
And he's still teaching us.
That's why his name is on every package of pork we sell.
General Questions
Why does your pork look darker/more red?
Heritage breeds (like the Berkshire and Duroc crosses we raise) have more marbling, slower growth, and genetics that produce darker, richer meat.
Commercial pork is bred for leanness resulting in a less marbled product.
Dark color = quality genetics and superior flavor. If you're used to grocery store pork, ours will look different. That's a good thing.
Do you use antibiotics?
We use antibiotics only in life-threatening situations, under veterinary care, with proper withdrawal periods.
The pasture environment keeps our pigs healthier, so we rarely need antibiotics. When we do, it's to save an animal's life—not as a routine practice.
No growth hormones. No routine antibiotics. Just responsible animal care.
How is this different from grocery store pork?
Five main differences:
- Heritage breeds vs. commercial genetics: Our pigs are bred for flavor, not leanness
- Pasture-raised vs. confinement: Our pigs move, root, forage naturally
- No added hormones
- Minimal antibiotics: We use them only for life-saving situations
- Short supply chain: Locally processed, farm to your freezer
The flavor difference is dramatic. You'll taste it the first time you cook it.
How much freezer space do I need?
Whole pig: 6-7 cubic feet
Half pig: 3-4 cubic feet
Boxes: Varies by box size (much less space required)
Most standalone freezers or large fridge-freezer combos can handle a half pig. If you're buying a whole pig, you'll likely need a chest freezer.
What are your pickup options?
- Farm pickup: By appointment in LaGrange, NC
- Local delivery: Within 50 miles (fee applies)
- Shipping: Available for boxes only (1-2 day zones)
Whole and half pigs require pickup or local delivery (they're too large to ship cost-effectively).
