The L1fe Farms Philosophy
At L1fe Farms, we're passionate about producing the highest quality, most flavorful pork possible. Our "old world" heritage breeds, raised on pasture and supplemented with non-GMO, soy-free, and corn-free grains, result in pork that's a far cry from the pale, flavorless meat found in most grocery stores.
We believe that when you choose L1fe Farms, you're not just selecting superior sausage – you're supporting a vision of agriculture that values flavor, health, and ethical treatment of animals above all else. Our pigs live as nature intended, resulting in meat that's rich in color, beautifully marbled, and bursting with flavor.
A Note on Quality
The saying "pork, the other white meat" doesn't apply here. Our pork boasts a deep, rich red color and perfect marbling – the kind of quality that top chefs and discerning home cooks seek out. By choosing heritage breeds and giving them the freedom to roam and forage, we're producing pork that stands head and shoulders above the rest.
Storage & Handling Tips
