The Ferme d’ORée pigs are not like other pigs. Raised on pasture (when the circumstances allow), they are free to express their natural behavior, to root, to roll in the mud, and play with others. Instead of corn and soya, their diet consists mostly of barley and triticale. No antibiotics, growth factors. hormones or industrial byproducts of course. We raised Berkshire pigs for years, but now we work with a crossbreed with a very good meat quality and a better yield.

This charcuterie is made with Berkshire though.
