Discover the extraordinary taste and heritage of the Ossabaw Island pig, a rare and conservation-worthy breed known for its exceptional meat quality.

Background and Conservation Efforts

Originating from Ossabaw Island off the coast of Georgia, the Ossabaw Island pig descends from the Spanish pigs brought to the New World by explorers in the 16th century. These resilient pigs adapted to the island's environment, developing unique characteristics that make their meat highly prized. Today, Ossabaw Island pigs are a breed in conservation, and our farm is dedicated to raising them sustainably, preserving their genetic heritage while producing top-quality pork.

Why Ossabaw Island Pork is a Delicacy

• Unparalleled Flavor: The meat of Ossabaw Island pigs is renowned for its rich, nutty flavor, attributed to their natural diet and foraging habits.
• Exceptional Marbling: Similar to prized Iberico pork, Ossabaw Island pork features deep marbling, resulting in tender, juicy cuts.
• Superior Fat Quality: Ossabaw Island pigs have a unique fat composition, rich in oleic acid, which is the same monounsaturated fat found in olive oil. This makes their fat not only melt-in-your-mouth delicious but also healthier compared to regular pork fat.
• Nutrient-Rich: Their meat is higher in healthy fats and Omega-3 fatty acids, making it not only delicious but also beneficial for your health.

Our Ossabaw Island pigs are raised on pasture, given a GMO-free, soy-free, and corn-free diet. We use no hormones or sub-therapeutic antibiotics, ensuring the highest quality meat. By purchasing from us, you're supporting conservation efforts and sustainable farming practices.
