4kg pork package

Hareneko rare breed pig, live outdoor all year round, for around 18 months

From Hareneko Borda farm, I purchased their 4kg package of pork. This direct selling method is very popular with organic farmers, they earn more, customers pay less for good quality meat. The point to note is you cannot choose the cuts, it is given as a mixture, a way for farmer to sell all parts of the animal.

So far, most farmers delegate the butchering job to slaughter houses, who will cut the animal up and divide into whatever portions farmers asked for. The problem is most of the cuts could end up thin, may not be the best way to enjoy them.

This farm is smart, he controls the butchering, offers decent thick cuts from  good recognizable areas, like chop, shoulder, loin, the rest he turns into sausages.

Very impressed that the sausages are so tasty, to start with, the meat is coarsely minced, there is still texture in the sausage. The plain one season with white pepper has a good porky taste, the merguez is full of paprika and spicy espelette flavor, blood sausage has the crunch of bits of ear and skin inside.
