WHY OUR MEAT TASTES BETTER …

 

At The Pig Baron, we know that quality can only be maintained when every aspect of production is meticulously examined and managed with care. With this in mind, we source our whole pigs only from sustainably managed farms, where transparency is embedded within the philosophical approach. The pigs are raised in specific climatic and environmental conditions, meeting the requirements for free-range production. Only 5% of Aussie farms are currently free-range.

The pigs we source are bred to have a little more fat than typical, by generally breeding heritage-bred sows with musclier, leaner boars. This leads to meat that stays moist and full of flavour when cooked. The pigs are born, raised and live their entire lives outdoors in a free-range environment, enabling them to express the full range of instinctive behaviours by providing rooting areas, wallows, and kennels/huts for shelter.

Our pigs are also fed a natural diet – without antibiotics or hormones – eating pastures, grains & vegetables, and even being allowed a little indulgence when they dig up organic potatoes and grubs.  Grown organically without added hormones, the pigs grow at a natural pace allowing the meat to achieve a full, rich flavour.  

The farm we source our pigs from are certified free-range, growing BFA certified vegetables. Manure from the pigs is used as an organic fertiliser, improving the crops and pasture without degrading the soil. The entire cycle from healthy soil to healthy plants, to healthy pigs to healthy humans is kept natural, contributing to a clean environment and healthier planet.
