@Zack Vegas – do you remember Firebrand Meats? That Low PUFA pork company the guy tried to get off the ground and kept running into obstacle after obstacle? Finally he sold it to Nourish Cooperative founded by those two sisters – 20’s and 30’s. Their story is fascinating. On the eve of her PhD defense in engineering, she suddenly decided she was not going to enter the field but buy a farm and create healthy food for people! She and her sister run it along with her sister’s husband who joined in the operation. Angel Acres. Then they went around to neighbors and talked them into joining her cooperative that she was building. She provides them the low PUFA feed she makes and they agree to pasture always and pasture rotation and no needles or hormones.
She bought Firebrand meets and moved the pigs from Chicago (I think it was) to Michigan where they are. You can order on Firebrand meats site or hers with their own pigs at Nourish Cooperative. We have tried the Firebrand Meats: whole hog sausage and the bacon and the bone in pork chops. All the food tastes so clean and I have zero reactions from eating the bacon or sausage. With the high PUFA options of these even from farms, I struggle.
We had Apple Pear sauce with the pork chops and ate a sliced sugar bee apple when we cooked the bacon. Bacon and apple was sumptuous. Also, with the whole hog sausage, I roasted some cauliflower which went so well together. I also had some blueberry preserves with the sausage as a side of sorts. Super tasty surprisingly.
