Snake River Farms – Boise
Holiday Ham
Snake River Farms Kurobuta pork is considered to be the pork equivalent of American Wagyu or Kobe beef. It’s world-renowned for its exceptional tenderness. This gourmet pork is also much more flavorful than your typical grocery store variety.
Vogel Farms – Kuna
Homegrown Pork
Vogel Farms hogs are raised on a diet of GMO-free corn-based feed mixed with vitamins and minerals. They grind and mix the feed right on the farm. It is their philosophy to raise all their animals as close to a natural environment as possible and not in a high-volume feed lot. They also believe animals should be treated with dignity and respect. The pigs are raised outside with access to a barn. They only raise about 5 or 6 at a time so they always have plenty of room to roam.
