Jasper Hill Farm began as a model for value-added production; turning milk into high value product achieved profitability for a small-scale farm. Pigs have always been a part of this story with their appetite for the by-product of whey and batches of cheese that don’t make the grade. We have finally realized our vision of applying the value-add strategy to pork with a small, USDA inspected facility near the original farm. Dry curing meat concentrates flavor and reveals the complexity of a place-based product in a way that complements our working landscape and our tables.
