Our basil sausage combines delicious ground pork and aromatic basil. Sausage is most often made from grinding any meat left over from cutting the chops and roasts, and combining it with seasonings. Basil sausage links can be grilled, broiled, pan fried, or quickly roasted. Try them with pasta, roasted veggies, or at your next cookout! The casings can also be cut open so that the ground sausage can be used in meat sauces, lasagna, or meatballs.
Our pigs are raised on pasture all summer, without hormones or antibiotics. We buy in a small herd of piglets each May that is made up of a mix of heritage breeds, including Tamworth and Old Spot. We feed our pigs non-GMO grain, but being raised outside means they also forage for tubers, roots, berries, grubs, and more. From May to November, we rotate the pigs into new paddocks, allowing them to explore and express their natural rooting behaviors, while also fertilizing those areas with manure.
