OUR PROCESS
OUR FACILITIES
We’ve dedicated ourselves in our own production process, maintaining oversight from farm to your door. This deep expertise, coupled with our unwavering commitment to consistency and quality, means your food comes direct and superior quality in origin.
Food Safety
We’re USDA/FSIS federally-inspected and HACCP certified.
Traceability
We maintain detailed recordkeeping of all production activities and farm origin.
Consistency
We produce our products with QC standards that yield consistent quality.
Humane Handling
We treat our animals with care, respect, and dignity at all times.
CALM
By prioritizing a stress-free environment and a healthy, high-protein diet, thanks to our farmers’ expertise, we ensure the well-being of our herds. Our semi-automated CO2 stunning system further supports humane handling and a calm atmosphere, resulting in enhanced meat quality for our customers.
CLEAN
To ensure product safety and consistency, we proactively sanitize and test all equipment daily, both before and after production, under daily USDA supervision. Our adherence to strict SOP/SSOP sanitation guidelines is supported by detailed record-keeping, allowing us to maintain consistency and implement corrective actions effectively.
CHILLED
To ensure the highest quality, all our pork is rapidly chilled to the target temperature immediately after production. Our products are continuously refrigerated and ready for shipment or further processing. Our commitment to maintaining quality and consistency is done through our detailed daily temperature logs and record-keeping practices.
“We control our own production and produce consistent, premium fresh quality so we can pass that value to you.”
