We began raising Meishan pigs in 2016 and it didn't take long to fall in love with this breed. There is a noticeable difference in their docile temperament and this prolific pig makes wonderful mothers. The marbling in this "red meat" pig adds incredible flavor; and the fat cap is thick and buttery. (If you've eaten our sausage at the market, you'll understand the importance of flavor in this fat.) We are members of the American Meishan Breeders Association (AMBA) and have worked with the Livestock Conservancy to promote this exquisite breed. The best way to save a breed is to create a demand for it and that's just what we have been doing. We are currently the only farm in the Northeast of the United States with registered breeding stock of Meishans. We love sharing it with our customers and working with other restaurants and chefs to showcase the meat. Our market - and a few other select local restaurants on our peninsula - are the only places in Maine you can taste Meishan pork.
