Berkshire pork is the most highly sought after pork in the world. It is also known as Kurobuta pork. It is juicy, dark and heavily marbled. The richness of the pork is preferred by chefs all over the world. The meat is suitable for long and high-temperature cooking.
Our primary focus here at Hobby Mountain Farm is raising purebred Berkshires but we have thrown in some other breeds such as the Red Wattle and Large Black. Red Wattles bring a beef like texture and Large Blacks are known for their fine inter-muscular marbling that leads to beautiful tender and juicy meat. We cross both of these breeds with purebred Berkshires so you get the best from both worlds
While our main focus is breeding outstanding meat pigs, we do breed for FFA, 4H, and Grange show pigs. Our Berkshires are extremely friendly and easy to handle. One of our breeders came to us after she was retired from showing. These are only a handful of the banners she won with her previous owner.
We have two options when it comes to purchasing piglets or meat pigs from us:
1) You purchase a piglet to raise at home
2) We raise your piglet to butcher weight and you pick up your pork from the butcher.
Prices vary depending on which option you choose
