Meadowlark Farm Kunekune Pork
“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!
