Ground Pork

Pork is the kind of protein we all love. Cost effective, nutrient dense, and when raised outdoors, it's delicious. We select our pigs for their mothering skills, the fat:muscle ratios, and size. We feed them to get beautifully marbled and wonderfully flavoured meat without the excess fat.

Our cuts are priced by the pound so a deposit is taken and your final weight is calculated upon shipping.

More about This Cut

Ground pork is a staple around here. With a slightly higher fat content than beef its adds a flavour and juiciness to any ground meat dish being prepared. We mix it 1:2 with ground beef for all meatballs, burgers, meatloafs, etc. for the flavour and moisture as well as the cost.

Ground pork is a versatile, lean, and tender meat derived from various parts of the pig. It consists of finely minced or ground cuts, making it an excellent choice for a wide variety of dishes across diverse cuisines. Ground pork is a rich source of protein and other essential nutrients such as iron, vitamin B and zinc, adding both texture and flavour to recipes. Popular uses for ground pork include sausages, meatballs, dumplings, and various stuffed dishes. It can also be used as a substitute for ground beef or turkey, offering a unique taste profile. Mixing ground pork with other ground meats helps to enhance the overall flavour and tenderness of a dish.

FAQ

Can we buy bulk pork?

For sure you can. It's actually much more economical to buy a half or whole animal.

We can organize this for you, with the classic typical cut options you find on this site. And for those that understand the butchering cuts, special arrangements can be made for us to deliver an animal to the butcher when the animal is ready and for you to organize with the butcher to have the animal cut to your specifics.

If this is something you are interested in, please email Brian here to make inquiries and arrangements.

Is this pastured pork?

We are close but not quite. Our sows often farrow indoors away from the others in a farrowing pen. They are moved outside to a small pen until the piglets are ready to wean. The young market pigs then spend their time in large pens, digging, rooting, and playing.

We would love to have them on pasture but as with our chickens, it's the challenge of water, protection from wild predators, and monitoring them so far from home. And they'd miss out on all the kitchen scraps, which are pretty popular!

What breed of pigs do you raise?

Brian has experimented with quite a few breeds at this point, and each have features to benefit from. The sows we have are a mix of breeds as Brian was looking for hardiness to live outdoors, moderate fat, heavily muscled, mothering instincts, and mild temperament.
