Minnesota’s highest-quality brats, chops, hams, tenderloins, ribs, bacon, cottage bacon, and more – raised humanely, sustainably, and on a non-GMO diet free of growth additives, antibiotics and animal byproducts – delivered straight to your doorstep by the same farmer who produced them. It’s the Connolly family’s gift to the Twin Cities: pork as it’s truly meant to be.
“Every pig we raise lives out their entire life on our family farm in Le Center, Minnesota,” said David Connolly, who owns Pampered Pork alongside his parents and wife. “There are no-industrial confinement barns here – just free-roaming hoop houses filled with organic
bedding for our pigs to root, run around and play in while they enjoy the fresh air and sunshine.
“There are no farrowing or gestation crates, either. Our sows nurse their own piglets on beds of soft straw. We will never trim their teeth, cut their tails, or corral them using shock prods. They will stay together throughout their lifecycle, which is essential to ensuring such a social animal’s happiness.
“We raise hybrid pigs: Duroc sire, Yorkshire dams. That gives our pork the full characteristics of Duroc, which is famous the world over for its exceptional yet accessible flavor, as well as its perfect balance of leanness and deep intramuscular marbling. That also means our piglets are raised by careful mothers, which is a trait the Yorkshire breed is highly regarded for.
“I can’t express how wonderful it feels to work on a beautiful farm with my family. I also enjoy the privilege of sharing that work with our customers whenever I meet them face to face at three farmers’ markets throughout the Twin Cities. Winter is our slower season, as you might imagine, which is why we double our number of home delivery dates during it: Monday and Thursday, instead of Monday only. Home delivery is always free of charge, regardless of order size, and we’re just as happy to stop by on a regular basis or one time only.”
