Kerns Farms Corp, dba: Mangalitsa Estates

Our Mangalitsa pigs are fed an all-natural vegetarian diet with no antibiotics. These hogs are developed in loose housing and fed the Wheat or Barley diet the last 60 days or so. They are typically harvested between 11-18 months age. Harvesting the animals at an older age allows them to develop their wonderful flavor. There is a limited supply of this product. If you want a continuous supply, we can arrange a continuous supply. Contact us to make arrangements. Uses: These animals are suitable for makers of high end specialty meats and white table cloth restaurants. These pigs are not for everyone. Due to high cost and the high fat to meat ratio chefs must be familiar with seam butchery and tradional European methods to get the most out of the Mangalitsa carcass. Chefs like to be able to use the large amounts of high quality fat to create unique products from the Mangalitsa. Our pigs will finish out somewhere between 8 months to 12 months. They still have a highly desirable fat cover with the extreme marbling and color characteristics that have made the Mangalitsa world famous.
