Chorizo sausage blends the savory flavors of ground pork, chili, and garlic. Sausage is made by grinding any meat left over from cutting the chops and roasts and combining it with seasonings. Chorizo sausage links can be grilled, pan seared, broiled, or baked in the oven. They can also be cut up and used in stews or soups.
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.
