OUR PRACTICES

Pasture-Raised Excellence

At Cedar Valley Farm, we believe that happy, healthy animals produce the best quality meat. That’s why our pigs are raised on open, green pastures where they are free to roam, root, and forage naturally. This pasture-raised method ensures that our pigs live in a low-stress, humane environment, which directly contributes to the rich, flavorful meat we provide. By allowing our pigs to graze and move freely, we create a product that’s not only better tasting but also better for the animals and the environment.

Grass-Fed Nutrition

The health and diet of our pigs are central to the quality of our pork. At Cedar Valley Farm, our pigs enjoy a grass-fed diet that’s supplemented with natural forage. This approach results in meat that is leaner, with a more complex flavor profile than conventionally raised pork. Grass-fed pork is known for its higher content of vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids, offering a nutritious alternative to standard supermarket meat. Our commitment to a natural diet ensures that you’re receiving pork that’s not only delicious but also better for your health.

Sustainable Farming Practices

We are deeply committed to sustainable farming practices that benefit both the environment and the animals we raise. Our farming methods are designed to work in harmony with nature, focusing on soil health, reduced waste, and minimal environmental impact. We rotate pastures to prevent overgrazing and promote natural regrowth, which helps maintain the balance of the ecosystem. This approach ensures that our farm operates efficiently and responsibly, producing top-quality pork while protecting the land for future generations.

Ethical Animal Care

At Cedar Valley Farm, the well-being of our animals is one of our top priorities. We adhere to the highest standards of animal welfare, ensuring that our pigs are treated with care and respect from birth to processing. They are never confined to cramped, unnatural conditions. Instead, they enjoy spacious, open pastures where they can engage in natural behaviors like rooting and wallowing. This ethical approach to farming not only leads to healthier animals but also results in tastier, more wholesome pork for our customers.

Farm-to-Table Freshness

One of the things that sets Cedar Valley Farm apart is our direct farm-to-table model. By cutting out the middleman, we are able to deliver pork that is fresher and higher in quality than what you’ll find at a typical grocery store. From the moment the pigs are harvested to the time the meat reaches your door, we take every step to preserve the freshness and integrity of our product. This means our pork reaches your kitchen faster, maintaining its natural flavor and tenderness.

Quality Control

Quality is at the heart of everything we do. From the breeding and raising of our pigs to the final packaging of our products, we maintain strict quality control at every step. Our pigs are carefully monitored throughout their lives, ensuring they are raised in optimal conditions. We also adhere to rigorous processing standards to guarantee that the pork you receive is safe, clean, and of the highest quality. At Cedar Valley Farm, we take pride in delivering pork that exceeds expectations in taste, tenderness, and overall quality.
