Animal Welfare
Our animals and the farmers that raise them are our #1 priority. All our pigs spend their entire lives outside in forested woodlots and open pasture, year round. Whereas the typical pork raising operation would cram as many as 500 pigs into a single acre of land, our farmers give that space to just five pigs. In this environment, they’re able to forage for food natural to them, stretch their legs, engage in social behaviors, and, well, be as happy as a pig in shit.
Regenerative Agriculture
All of our farmers practice rotational grazing and land management to such a degree that the health of the soil and the ecosystem is as much a concern as the health of the animals. Where we farm animals, the health of the soil improves. Period. Our farmers own the land they raise our animals on and they hope their children will too. Utilizing cows’ ability to trim and fertilize, pigs’ ability to clear-cut and turn up soil, and chickens’ ability to fertilize and control insect populations, our farmers have been slowly reclaiming land that was previously utterly depleted by conventional agriculture.
Delicious, Delicious Sausage
We’ve worked hard on these recipes and each is sausage more than just a recipe. Every week we refine our products, give feedback to our farmers, and work together finding new ways to make things better.
