Whey Fed Pork Named in ‘Top 100 Foods’

-Saveur Magazine 2008

What is whey feeding of pigs?

Whey is the liquid by-product that comes from our small farm’s cheese making

process, rich in calcium, protein and trace minerals (especially rich from sheep's milk).

Why use whey?

Historically, cheese makers fed the liquid by-product to pigs because it was a superior protein,

readily available, and created tender, full-flavored pork. Presently, industry attempts to mimic

old-fashioned feeding methods by drying the whey-however, it is not the same. The well-known

ham Prosciutto di Parma is made from hogs raised on whey that comes from the Parmigiano Reggiano

cheese making process.

What else do our pigs eat?

They eat all-natural grains, salt, minerals and pasture grasses. They also forage on fallen tree nuts

and spend lots of time rooting up the soil. Which is what nature intended them to do….
