Cooking Tips or Recipes:
Cooking instructions for best results:

• Frying (Bacon & Sausage):
  Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon or sausage until crispy and browned, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F.

• Oven-Baked (Pork Roast):
  Preheat oven to 325°F. Season the roast with your favorite herbs and spices. Place in a roasting pan and cook for 25-30 minutes per pound, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

• Air Fryer (Pork Chops):
  Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Lightly oil and season the chops. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until internal temperature reaches 145°F.

• Grill (Pork Chops & Sausage):
  Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill pork chops for 5-6 minutes per side and sausage links for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked.

• Cooking Suggestion:
  Marinate the pork chops overnight in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and fresh herbs for enhanced flavor and tenderness.

• Recipe Idea:
  Slow-cook the pork roast with root vegetables and a splash of apple cider for a comforting, hearty meal that's perfect for family gatherings.

Pork - Our Sustainability Promise

At R Family Farms, we are committed to sustainability at every step of our operation, from farm to table:

• Locally Sourced Feed & Responsible Farming Practices
  We provide our pigs with high-quality, locally sourced feed and follow farming practices that prioritize animal welfare and environmental stewardship.

• Farrow-to-Finish Farm
  Raising pigs from birth through market weight on our farm eliminates unnecessary transportation and handling, reducing our carbon footprint while enhancing animal well-being.

• Minimal Food Miles
  To support the local economy and ensure the freshest product, we partner with a nearby processor. This minimizes transportation emissions and keeps the journey from farm to processor short.

• Integrated Crop & Livestock Farming
  Our farm integrates crop production with pig farming, efficiently using resources like composted manure as a natural fertilizer. This reduces chemical inputs and promotes healthy, sustainable soil.

• Sustainable Packaging
  We ship with Green Cell Foam, a biodegradable, eco-friendly packaging material, to ensure your order arrives sustainably.

This is our commitment to you: delicious, high-quality pork products raised with care for our animals, our community, and our planet.
