My bride of 50 years and I visited a local farm. There they raise Heritage Hogs.

From their web site: "Our approach to farming is much different than how most pigs are raised. Our methods are a combination of the “old fashioned” way that honors animals’ instincts and a forward looking consideration for our environment.
Our animals are "pasture raised," which means that they spend their entire lives outside and in an environment as close to their natural habitat as possible. Expression of their natural instincts leads to a healthier, happier animal, and a more nutritious and higher quality product than animals confined in modern meat factories.
We care for our soil and water, and seek to improve it every year through quick rotation of animals, which spreads out their manure and improves growth of forage and cover crops that we seed continuously. At most livestock farms, manure is a liability; here, it's an asset."
Our mission is to reduce livestock stress and produce the highest quality, best tasting product possible for you and your family.
High price for St Louis ribs, 27.45 for 2.8LBS. or two racks.
We are giving them a try to see if they are worth it.
The first pix is a sow with piglets, next is 8-month-old hogs near butcher weight.
