What are Commodity Pigs on the USDA Pastured Pork Report and what are Heritage Pigs?

Commodity Pigs (also called Lean Hogs) make up the vast majority of pork you will find in the supermarket. Commerically raised and sold as a "commodity", these pigs are reared and bred for their meat content alone and therefore have a tendency to be leaner than the Heritage breeds. (source: pigroastpros.com).

Heritage Pigs are specialty pigs that are generally reared on small, local farms and typically not part of large, commercial
businesses. They are raised outdoors and indoors and produce a more tender and flavorful meat that is marbled, rich and savory. An easy comparison would be American Angus Cattle who are also known for rich marbling. Kunekune pork is considered by some as the 'Wagu' of the pork world. This type of pork is prized among chefs, top restaurants and consumers. Because Heritage Pig breeds require longer growth periods and more specialized care they are often a more expensive pork option.

Our farm, and many others, choose to raise our pigs on pastures, under grandfather oaks, allowing them to graze, wallow and basically be pigs. They are brushed, scratched, given belly rubs, and allowed to graze at their leisure on pastures and under the trees. Many are surprised when they drive by to see a drove/drift/passel/team/sounder (group of swine) happily grazing with their tails wagging. We get lots of questions, people taking pictures, wondering how our land looks like it does when we have so many pigs!

So next time you head for the grocery, consider the small, local farms that are working hard to provide for themselves, their community, and provide a real life for the animals they raise.

Support local, know your farmer, know your food.
