This lard is rendered from our forest fed pigs supplemented with Non-GMO verified feed. This product is a great alternative to cooking oils such as vegetable oil because it is much more stable, and less likely to break down into harmful free radicals.
This lard is great for baking, is pure white, and was not heated above 170 degrees F in the rendering process. It can also be used for frying, or as a spread in place of mayo or butter.
These pigs were moved to a new area every week in our "Piggy Woods" where they root up the ground for tubers, eat grass and weeds, acorns, wild blackberries, and anything else they desire. They were supplemented with a ration of 50% Non-GMO Barley and Grass-fed skim milk and 50% Non-GMO feed for most of their lives but the past couple months they have been completely corn and soy free, only getting barley and skim milk.
