Forest/Pasture Raised Pork

Pigs raised out in the wild, whether in the forest or out on the pasture, makes for the most nutrient dense pork one could eat. Along with all the goodies nature has to offer, our pigs eat organic, soy-free feed from a local farmer, along with all the milk and whey they desire from our very own grass fed milk cows. The meat from pigs allowed to root and run, as pigs should, is much darker in color. The pork will often look like beef, as pork is not actually a white meat, but a red one. Pigs not allowed to move about freely have lower amounts of myoglobin, which translates to lower amounts of iron in their meat, which is what makes it red in color.
