FAQs

Q: How is your pork different from supermarket pork?

Our pork is sourced from our neighbor, George Lorette, who owns Serendipity Farm in Bradford, Maine. There are quite a few differences between George's pigs and conventional pigs - including the quality of the living conditions. Supermarket pork is raised in confined feeding operations, where pigs have no access to outdoors for their entire lives. At Serendipity, the pigs have access to outdoors 365 days a year. Serendipity pigs do not receive antibiotics or growth hormones, which are commonly used with conventional pigs.

Q: Where is your pork sourced?

We have partnered with a neighbor, Serendipity Farm in Bradford, Maine for our all-natural, pasture-raised pork. Serendipity is owned by George Lorette. The pigs are processed at Herring Brothers in Guilford,Maine (the same processor we use for our beef). Herring Brothers is family-owned and USDA inspected.

Q: Is it OK for pork sausage to be a little pink?

Color doesn’t matter – as long as the sausage is 160 degrees F the color does not matter.

Q: What temperature should I cook pork sausage?

The target cooked temperature of a raw sausage is 160 degrees Fahrenheit, and at a steady 160 degrees. Any higher temperature will cause the fat inside the sausage to melt and drip out producing a dry, less tasty sausage. There should be no pink color in the sausage.

Pork raised the way nature intended

Pigs are beautiful creatures. Which is why it is such a shame to see the cruel conditions in which they are conventionally raised.

We’re lucky that we've been able to partner with neighboring farms in Maine to source our pork.

The pigs have access to outdoors 365 days a year. They are not injected with antibiotics or growth hormones. 

The result is pork that tastes like pork should taste - juicy, savory and slightly sweet. The way nature intended.

A Note From Farmer Dan

We proudly source our pork from our neighbors, Serendipity Farm. Everything about their operation is different (and better) than conventional pork factory farms - and you can tell by the real pork flavor in everything from the bacon to the pork chops.
