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.
Breakfast sausage is a morning staple for a reason! Breakfast sausage is made from grinding any meat left over from cutting the chops and roasts, and combining it with seasonings like black pepper and sage. The patties can be pan seared, broiled, or quickly baked in the oven. Serve as a breakfast side or in a classic sausage egg and cheese sandwich!
