“I’ve had bacon, and then I’ve had bacon…
…I buy heritage Berkshire or other bacon from great farmers usually in the areas I have lived in. Great products, great bacon, and more. Heritage Kunekune bacon from Meadowlark Farm is the best bacon I’ve ever had.”
— Chef Krista
Why Kunekune Pork is Superior
Kunekunes make the most delicious, tender red cut of meat. Pasture-raised pork is high in Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin A, E, and D. The pH balance of the Kunekune is higher than most hogs, resulting in a meat that is more moist. Kunekune pork won’t disappoint!
