This exceptional pork, prized for its richness and depth of flavour, is often referred to as 'Kurobota' which means 'Berkshire Gold', and is widely considered to be the Kobe beef of the pork world. It consistently tops other breeds in categories such as meat marbling, moisture and tenderness.

The Berkshire pig is named after the county in England where they were discovered by Oliver Cromwell's' army more than 300 years ago. The Berkshire has been in North America for nearly 150 years.

Natural Pork
Our small herd of Berkshire pigs is raised as nature intended. The animals are allowed to move freely in their environment, and are kept outside year round, with access to indoor shelters for shade in the summer, and warmth in the winter. The animals are never raised with the use of antibiotics - however a sick animal will be treated as necessary. Hormones are never used to promote growth, and the pigs diet consists of forages, locally grown grain (produced without the use of chemicals), and a premix of canola / soya, and a vitamin / mineral supplement. Our pigs are never fed any animal by-products. Preserved forages (hay / straw) are provided during the winter months. We never carry out any procedures such as tail docking and teeth clipping. This is simply not necessary in a natural, stimulating, stress free environment
