I know pastured is ideal, but am I wasting my effort on rendering lard from these pigs? I buy grass fed beef from this farm so I'm not sure why they don't supply pastured pork.

They supply Thundering Hooves with sustainably raised, natural pork - No hormones, no antibiotics, a purely vegetarian feed, and no concrete floors. We are very impressed with the results! The Hesse pig farm has a series of giant hoop-like shelters (nearly 80 feet wide and 150 feet long). These spacious shelters are open at both ends, and on one end open to a large outdoor space where the pigs are fed a 100% vegetarian feed grown on the Hesse's farm. |
