Josh and Jessica Rauser raise purebred KuneKune pigs on open pasture, rotate the herd to rebuild the soil, and feed a daily fermented ration of non-GMO barley, wheat, oats, alfalfa and beets with no corn. Every pig in the herd is KPPA certified purebred with its own pedigree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy KuneKune\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKuneKunes are a slow-growing heritage breed built to graze rather than root. They take roughly two years on pasture to reach weight instead of six months in a barn, and the difference shows on the plate: deep red meat, marbling through every cut, and a silky, faintly sweet fat that renders slow and crisps clean. A KuneKune shoulder steak grills like a ribeye. KuneKune bacon is the richest you will find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You'll Find Here\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmoked bacon, smoked jowl bacon, bone-in shoulder steaks, breakfast patties and Italian sausage, all from the same pasture-raised herd. Steakholder members save on every cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Rausers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJosh and Jessica were city kids. In 2020 they moved their growing family out of Minneapolis and started over on seven wooded acres in central Michigan with a garden, a couple of goats and a few KuneKune pigs. They outgrew it fast and settled in Hastings, where they also opened a store on the farm so more than 30 neighboring families could sell what they grow and make. Every order from this collection keeps a Michigan family farm, and the community around it, in business.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0629\/4585\/3487\/collections\/351130840_618156490247246_3104879559376001880_n.jpg?v=1791825128","url":"https:\/\/valorprovisions.us\/collections\/raising-em-right-homestead.oembed","provider":"Valor Provisions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
