We picked up our first set of pork from our Red Wattle hogs and cooked some for the ultimate taste test. For the last year we have been hoping and praying that we made the right choice in our hog breed to raise. So far we have been impressed with this breeds ability to live on their own in a social group, breed and raise young naturally with no intervention, protect themselves from the harsh weather, summer and winter, and a host of other positive traits. But, we didn't know how the finished product would come out.
Well, we are happy to report that we have now tried sausage and pork chops, and both are absolutely incredible! The sausage was well balanced, tender, and uniquely flavored. We cooked it with no additional spices to get a feel for the natural taste and I have to say it was the best breakfast sausage I have ever tasted!
We also made pork chops for dinner and again, the meat was incredibly tender, had good fat to meat balance, and a very pleasing flavor without much extra seasoning. Cooked to allow the natural goodness of the meat to come through, it is a gratifying experience.
So, we are pleased with our choice of Red Wattles in entirety. I can recommend this pork to anyone who wants to try some real, fresh, healthy meat that tastes the way pork was intended to taste.
We are considering offering samples to help spread the word about this incredible product. If you interested in tasting some, please let us know.
Follow along our adventure as we make the transition from corporate city life to the world of natural farming. Each day brings a new experience and brings us to a deeper understanding about the life and spirit that made America great. At our farm we do our best to give the animals we raise a natural, free, happy, stressfree lifestyle. Our mission is to learn and share how to manage a farming operation that is both profitable and humane.
