About 1701 Farm Pasture Raised Pork

• Raised on pasture – free to roam, root, and forage
• Heritage breeds known to produce the best flavor 
• In addition to pasture, our hogs are supplemented with a non-gmo corn-free, soy-free grain – no hormones or drugs, ever 
• Frozen & vacuum sealed to preserve freshness

The saying "pork, the other white meat" (i.e., pale pink) is non-existent in our vocabulary. Our pork has unmatched flavor, is dark red in color, and well marbled – the type of pork high-end restaurants are after. We achieve this by choosing "old world" heritage breeds, and put them in an environment they were designed to be raised in, either on pasture or in the brush where they can forage on grasses, acorns, and whatever their snouts find... with plenty of room to move in the sunshine, and supplemented with a NON GMO corn-free, soy-free grain.

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
