Why Saddleberk?
BERKSHIRE HERITAGE
Since its inception in the early 1800’s, the Berkshire breed has been coveted by chefs and culinary experts around the world. Its marbled red meat and stunning buttery texture is what gives this heritage breed its unrivaled taste and tenderness. Berkshire pigs have been raised throughout history to create the best possible eating experience.
TIME ON THE FARM
Our pork spends extra time on the farm. The result? Slower growth allows for the meat to develop as it would in nature. Creating more marbling, smoother texture, and an overall better tasting meat.
ENVIRONMENT
All of our pigs are raised in an environment with access to fresh air, sunshine, and wholesome food. In doing so, we can create a better life for our pigs, and a better product for you.
LOCAL
Saddleberk is a locally owned central Ohio farm. This means the transit time from our farm to your local grocery store or restaurant is as minimal as possible. Never stock- piled in a cooler, or shipped across an ocean. We believe that local equals fresh, and fresh truly is the best.
