Meat Nutrition Facts
Colorado pasture-raised, free-range pork Breeds: Tamworth (Heritage Irish grazing breed) crossed with Duroc and Hampshire (1/2 Tamworth, 1/4 Duroc and 1/4 Hampshire). Living conditions: Larga Vista Ranch goes beyond organic requirements by raising our hogs on pasture their entire lives. They are never confined and are rotated through different pastures. We use the pigs’ innate desire to root and dig to renovate our annual pastures. Nutrition: Because they are on pasture and never in a shed, the fat from our pigs is a significant source of vitamin D. When properly fed (nutritional needs are met) and in a stress-free environment, pigs are not inclined to resort to eating unmentionables (feces and carrion) as other pigs are. Our pigs’ grazing-based diet is supplemented with extra milk from our dairy and corn (grown here and soaked for optimal digestability). They also receive kelp, garlic, and mineral supplements. |

“Studies of Soviet Georgian populations show that those that eat the most meat and fat live the longest, whereas vegetarian inhabitants of Southern India have the shortest lifespans in the world.” |
“Many groups noted for their longevity, such as the inhabitants of Soviet Georgia, Okinawa, and the Vilcabamba of Ecuador, consume pork meat and lard in their diets on a daily basis. Lard is a good source of vitamin D.”
