If you are lucky enough to have found true free range pastured pork, you will want a sure way to be able to repeat the experience. The flavour and texture are amazing, so different from the dry and bland stuff from the supermarket. Pastured pork tastes different because it is different! The pigs are able to exercise freely and build natural muscles without the aid of growth promoters. They get to wander with the herd and interact and do not suffer the same stress as intensively housed pigs. Their diet is varied, and like we always say - pigs take on the flavour of their environment. Think about that statement for a second ....
You wont find it in the supermarkets. You will find it at farmers markets, specialty butchers and retailers, fine providores, small supermarket chains and other boutique outlets. Where ever you buy your pastured or free range pork from, you must ask for proof that the farm raised these animals to your expectations and that they did spend a life in the outdoors.
