We believe “local” means something more than just a short distance between two points. It’s about familiarity with every pair of hands along the way. It’s about working with friends and neighbors; people we know, and people we trust. It takes a great farmer to raise a great pig. Our all-natural heritage Berkshire hogs are raised without added hormones or antibiotics. They are slaughtered at a small, family-owned, USDA-inspected facility. The Rock Barn is grounded in Old-World technique and tradition. While we proudly pay homage to one of the world’s oldest trades, we also integrate New-World technology and practice, drawing from a wealth of culinary experience. When we’re slicing rib roasts or stuffing bratwurst, we’re holding ourselves to the highest standards and taking pride in our work. When we’re smoking bacon or curing jowl, we’re pushing ourselves to improve and to innovate. We hope your family enjoys the fruits of our labor. Feel good about choosing our products because we support thoughtful, ethical farming, and because we practice small-scale craft production—and feel really good about choosing our products because they taste better!
