From our family farm to your table - Kunekune pork raised with attention, tradition, and utmost care.
Meet the Farmers
Hello! We're Steve and Heather Scar. Owners at Meadowlark Farm: a veteran-owned, family farm located near Adair, Iowa. We take pride in knowing and caring for each of the animals we've been blessed with on our farm. We specialize in Kunekunes - a rare, grass-grazing heritage hog breed. All our pigs are slowly pasture-raised with lots of fresh air, sunlight, and belly rubs :) We finish our hogs on non-GMO feed and being a small farm, you're able to have confidence in where your meat comes from. Thank you for supporting our small Iowa farm!
After serving 20 years in the Air Force’s Search and Rescue Division, with five official saves and numerous assists, Steve retired and returned to his roots. The taste of Kunekune pork brought back cherished memories of his childhood, and we knew it was time to start raising these exceptional pigs on our own farm.
Our Kunekune Pork: Heritage Pork at its Finest
Since 2018, we've been working hard to produce premium Kunekune pork, focusing on exceptional genetics. Using rate of gain and ultrasound technology, we select pigs that represent the best qualities of this heritage breed. The result?
Kunekune hogs with pork that's rich in flavor, marbled beautifully, and nutritionally superior to conventional pork.
Our hands-on approach means we spend a lot of time with our Kunekunes - checking their pens, improving their environment, and yes, giving plenty of belly rubs. This personal care reflects in the quality of the pork we produce. Happy pigs = happy pork!
