When you raise pigs the way Tanner and I do, you don't have give them growth promoting drugs like sub-therapeutic antibiotics or beta-agonists which are so commonly used today in America (and illegal in many other countries). Drugs and crammed barns are a necessity to keep the price of grocery store pork low (yes meat is a commodity.. isn't that crazy?), and that is what many people want. However at 1701, we believe with all of our heart in providing a choice to those that value flavor, your health, and animal welfare first. - Catherine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farm1701","offers":[{"title":"Leaf lard - Jar","offer_id":44412598157414,"sku":null,"price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/4398\/5254\/files\/lard_3000x_9279aa0e-0d9f-418b-b288-be496f5c816f.webp?v=1779682530","url":"https:\/\/www.farm1701.com\/products\/pasture-raised-pork-lard","provider":"Farm 1701","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
