Our Practices
Our 100% pure Mangalitsa pigs are raised outdoors on small pastures where they dig for minerals and tubers, root for roots, and play in the mud. Mangalitsas take twelve to fifteen months to bring to market weight, as opposed to six months on a conventional farm. The longer growing time gives the meat time to develop muscle and deep marbling, adding rich flavor and complexity to the meat. They are fed a lean and healthy mix of transitional organic wheat, barley, oats, and peas to ensure the highest quality snow white fat, supplemented with alfalfa from our own fields, and produce from the garden. They eat well, and get a healthy share of belly rubs and back scratches. In the spring they drink pure maple sap to inject some heavy sweetness and minerals into the meat.
