Heritage Pasture Raised Pork
This pastured pork is raised by Abby, our daughter, and her husband Ethan right here on Alderspring’s pristine Idaho pastures. Here's their protocol:
- Free choice pasture. These pastured pigs are raised on grass pastures from weanling stage to finish and moved to a new paddock every week (yes, these are pigs that don’t live in mud)!
- Fed corn and soy-free feed. Along with Alderspring diverse grasses, Abby and Ethan’s pigs enjoy a supplemental diet of local wheat and peas, Ethan's milk from his dairy cows here at Alderspring, and a mineral supplement.
- Processed in a small USDA facility. These pigs are humanely processed at the same small-scale artisanal facility that processes Alderspring beef.
- Heritage pork. These are heritage pork genetics that produce better flavor and have more desire to graze.
- Leave no trace portability. Our entire pig operation is moved frequently, so it’s completely portable and leaves no trace except for increased soil fertility and slightly pig-tilled earth.
- Completely traceable. You can rest assured that your pastured pork was raised right here on Alderspring Ranch by Abby and Ethan Kelly. Each package of pork is traceable to a single animal.
