Our herd of purebred, woolly Mangalitsa pigs are a living piece of culinary history

This is the fabled lard-pig of the Austro-Hungarian Empire; an elite delicacy reserved for emperors, nearly lost to extinction as the modern world rushed toward industrial efficiency.

By preserving this rare breed in the heart of Missouri, we are bringing a legendary animal back from the brink.
