Frequently Asked Questions
A: At LMC Heritage Farm, we’re committed to raising high-quality meat with care and integrity. Our pastured pork comes from pigs raised outdoors, where they can roam freely and forage for natural foods. This results in richer flavor, better marbling, and higher levels of nutrients like omega-3s and vitamin E. Conventional pork typically comes from large indoor confinement systems (CAFOs), where pigs are fed grain-based diets and often experience greater stress—factors that can negatively affect meat quality.
Choosing pastured pork means choosing exceptional flavor, improved nutrition, and a more sustainable, humane farming approach.
A: At LMC Heritage Farm, adult pigs typically receive 5 to 7 pounds of feed per day, adjusted for their size, age, and nutritional needs. Our feed blends high-quality grains—such as corn and other cereals—with essential vitamins and minerals. We also supplement their diet with fresh produce, pasture grazing, and woodland forage. This balanced approach supports healthy development while reflecting our commitment to sustainable and ethical farming practices.
