Gloucester Old Spot Pastured Pork
One of Ohio's rarest heritage breeds. Raised on pasture with space to root, roam, and live as pigs should.
Why Gloucester Old Spot?
The Gloucester Old Spot is one of the oldest and rarest heritage pig breeds in the world - known for its docile temperament, excellent mothering instincts, and extraordinary flavor. Very few farms in Ohio raise this breed.
Our Gloucester Old Spots are raised on pasture with access to fresh ground, natural rooting behavior, and a diet free from vaccines, GMOs, and synthetic inputs. The result is pork with a rich, complex flavor and a fat profile that reflects a life lived outdoors.
Typical cuts available: chops, roasts, ground pork, sausage, bacon, ribs, and lard. Availability varies - call ahead or visit the store.
