Our pork comes from a rare breed of pig selected hundreds of years ago for its superior taste and texture. It produces a moist, tender meat that is arguably the best tasting pork on earth. The Tamworth's pork is unique in its tender texture and micro-marbled meat that produces a moist product on the grill or in the oven. This pork is a favorite among the renowned chefs of New York and Europe where it's served in the most exclusive restaurants known. Here at Dundas Heritage Farm, we are proud to be part of a small band of farmers keeping this magnificent breed alive for future generations.
The "Tam" is a true grazing pig that prefers open pastures where it eats various grasses and vegetation. When pork producers became industrialized, this slow growing, foraging breed was not suitable for the close confinement mega-hog houses used today. In spite of its docile temperament and exquisite taste, its numbers have dropped to less than 35 animals registered hogs in the Canada in 2005, making their status "critical"
Our pigs are raised in large pastures where they can eat a variety of vegetation, exercise to their hearts content, and socialize with other hogs and people on the farm. In addition to grazing, we feed our hogs a special mix of whole grains and minerals, that's it! They are free of any hormones, steroids, antibiotics, growth stimulants or chemicals of any kind. The result is a pure product that is safe, nutritious and best of all, flavorful.
Ours pigs are extremely active and develop their muscles with lots of play and running. Our pigs are the lucky pigs as we don't ring their nose, dock tails or clip the "needle" teeth at birth. We find that it is not needed when raised in open pastures.
