Our Idaho Pasture Pigs are raised in the rolling mountains of West Virginia, where they spend their entire lives outdoors, roaming lush pastures and woodlands under the open sun.
Their diet consists of pasture grasses, organic fruits and vegetables, walnuts, and acorns, and is supplemented with soy-free, certified non-GMO grain from Sunrise Farms in Virginia.
When raised using traditional methods, “sun” pork is a natural source of vitamin B1, selenium, vitamin D, and other essential micro-nutrients.
Flavor & Quality
The pork from these pigs is exceptional in both flavor and appearance. The meat has a naturally rosy hue, influenced by phytochemicals and carotene from a diet rich in green pasture grasses.
Our country ham and bacon are cured using traditional Appalachian methods with salt and sugar at Greenbrier Meat Company—an approach well suited for those with concerns or sensitivities to nitrates.
Following the guidance of the Weston A. Price Foundation, we recommend pork cured using these traditional methods, as well as pickling or marinating fresh pork in a vinegar brine prior to cooking.
Supercharge Your Protein
Commercially produced confinement hogs suffer from poor feed, lack of sunlight, and routine antibiotic use, which can lead to health concerns. Our pigs, by contrast, live active, outdoor lives in a low-stress environment.
They are raised the way God intended—on pasture, under the sun—which results in pork that is both wholesome and nutritious.
