Our pork meat is from cottage growers who provide humanely and holistically raised animals, both certfied organic and true free range. The animals are processed on-farm in a 100% solar-run facility. Our processed meats such as salamis, hams, bacon etc are all artisan made by hand. The bacon and hams are all pickled for 10 days in a mix of Pacific Sea salt and naturally-mined pink rock salt brine, and a small amount or organic sugar. They are then wood smoked in local iron bark, saw dust and birch. This forms the natural preservative and no other artificial inputs are added.
These are the standards:
- Certified Organic or Ethical, True Free Range
- All animals are grass fed and pastured free to roam over large areas
- No mass farming methods, Non intensively raised
- No GMO
- No grains or pump up products
- No antibiotics, hormones, steroids or growth promotants
