The number behind the ad

Almost every pig in America lives its whole life indoors.

Concrete or slatted floors, climate control, automated feed, no outdoor access. Not a barn they wander in and out of — a building they are born in and never leave. That is how nearly all of the pork in this country is made, and it is the reason it all tastes the same.

Ours have never been in one. They are farrowed outside and they stay out: pasture in the summer, woodlot and hay in the winter, dirt under them the whole time.

A different animal, eating a different thing, standing in a different place.

The breed

Duroc and Berkshire

The heritage breeds the industry bred away from when it decided pork should be lean and white. Marbled through, with a fat cap you could draw a line around.

The diet

Pecans, walnuts and whatever they dig up

Forbs, prairie grass and what falls from the trees, plus what they turn out of the ground themselves. Corn- and soy-free. Nobody is pouring it into a trough.

The ground

Dirt, grass and a mudhole in July

A pig that walks all day, roots all day and picks its own wallow by ten in the morning is a different animal on the plate than one that stands still.

American family farms

Raised by someone you could call.

We raise pigs on our ranch and source from two nearby Oklahoma families who raise heritage pigs the same old way we do. Follow us on social media and sign up for our newsletter and you might just get to know them too. Good pigs and good farmers are hard to find and we love sharing their stories and journeys.

What every one of them has in common: the pigs are outside, the farm is here in America, and nothing is imported. If you have a question about how your pork was raised, ask it and a person will answer you.

What to order first

Start where most people start.

Breakfast is the low-risk way in. The chops are where the difference is most obvious. The box is the whole argument at once.

From people who bought it

“These are not your average grocery store chops. Much juicer and more flavorful. Best chops I have ever had, will be ordering more.”
Joe V.Verified buyer · Pork Chops
“I hesitate to even write a review because I feel like this is our little secret, but this breakfast sausage is just incredible!”
Samantha P.Verified buyer · Breakfast Sausage
“Best bacon you will ever taste, has a sweetness almost like candy!”

Fair questions.

What does “never confined” actually mean here?

Outdoors, year-round, from the day they are born. Pasture, woodlot and dirt — not a barn with a door in it, and not a concrete floor with a fan over it. Our farmers give them shelter to get out of weather, the way you would for any animal, and the pigs decide when to use it.

Why does it cost more than the pork at the store?

Time and ground. A heritage pig raised outdoors takes longer to finish than one pushed on corn indoors, and it needs acres instead of a stall. We are paying a family to farm that way, and there is no version of this that is cheap.

Do you use mRNA vaccines?

No. No mRNA vaccines, no antibiotics, no added hormones. The pigs are corn- and soy-free as well.

What does shipping cost, and where do you ship?

Shipping is free on orders over $175. A small number of ZIP codes carry a $14.95 surcharge, and you will see it at checkout before you pay rather than after. We ship to the lower 48 — not Hawaii or Alaska, not yet.

Will it arrive frozen?

Yes. Everything ships frozen, by UPS or FedEx depending on how far it has to travel and what day of the week it goes out, on two- or three-day service. Every box is packed with enough dry ice for a day beyond that, so a delay in the hottest part of the country in the hottest part of the year still arrives frozen.

How do you make sure my order arrives safely?

We offer ShipInsure, a premium package protection provider for REP Provisions. Add it to your order in the cart and you can file a claim easily if a shipment is lost, stolen or damaged — or if you are not satisfied with your product.

Why does REP offer shipping insurance?

Once a package leaves our facility it is in the carrier’s hands. Problems are rare, but delays, damage and lost packages do happen. Insurance lets us:

  1. Resolve issues quickly and fairly.
  2. Protect customers from unexpected losses.
  3. Keep offering high-quality, responsibly raised food without building insurance costs into the price of every product.
