We have suspended our pastured pork sales to focus on our lamb operation. Thank you for your interest!

If you are interested in Proudly Powhatan Produced pastured pork, we recommend our friends at Douglas Farms.

Pastured Pork

How food is grown is important to us. Our pigs are fed Non-GMO feed and are raised on pasture as naturally as possible on silvopasture and wood lot environments. We truly believe that giving our animals a good life will result in the best possible product for our customers and our family.

If your only experience eating pork has been with conventionally-grown pork from the grocery store, you have been missing out! The conventional pork industry’s focus is to grow pork as quickly, efficiently, and inexpensively as possible. We have chosen a different approach - raising slower-growing pigs in a natural environment, resulting in what we believe is a superior product. Our pastured, heritage breed pork is darker than conventionally-raised pork and has exceptional flavor. Our heritage pork is richly marbled. Its fat is buttery without being chewy, providing a delicious, rich flavor that is hard to beat. Our heritage pigs also produce high-quality lard which is excellent for cooking, baking, and soap-making.

A 2017 study found that pigs who received sun exposure (such as a pastured setting) increased the vitamin D nutritional quality of the pork produced compared to pork raised in conventional confinement operations (the standard practice for raising grocery store pork)?
