“I’ve had bacon, then I’ve had bacon…

I buy heritage Berkshire or other bacon from great farmers usually in the areas I have lived in. Great products, great bacon, and more. I’ve never had Kunekune pork until the last three weeks. Heritage Kunkune bacon from Meadowlark Farm is the best bacon I’ve ever had.”

Why Kunekune Pork is Superior

Kunekunes make the most delicious, tender red cut of meat. Pasture-raised pork is high in Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin A, E, and D. The pH balance of the Kunekune is higher than most hogs, resulting in a meat that is more moist. Kunekune pork won’t disappoint!

We would be honored to have our Kunekune pork on your family’s table, whether you’re enjoying it at home or dining at one of the restaurants we’re blessed to partner with. With every bite, we’re sure you’ll taste the love and care that goes into raising our animals.
