OUR HISTORY
Our humble beginnings started as small butcher location in Turlock, California in the 1980’s. Our pork gained popularity due to its superior favor, color, texture, and unmatched freshness. Our roasting style pigs are famously praised as the “Gold Skinned Pig” (金皮猪). By knowing exactly where and how it was raised, including processing and delivering to customers ourselves, our customers were confident they’re getting a premium product.
