Testimonials

At Newman Farm Heritage Berkshire Pork we believe that not all Berkshire pork is created equal. Our goal has been to produce an exceptional product that creates attention and loyalty from 100% pure-bred Berkshire hogs that are raised in a truly natural outdoor environment.

Today we are seeing individuals and groups that are marketing what they call "Heritage Berkshire Pork", with a lot of this pork it is not purebred Berkshire. Purebred Berkshires are black carrying the 6 white traits (a white blaze face, four white stocking feet with a white tip on the tail) and with many, these animals are raised with "NO" specific set of production standards backed by third party verification. At Newman Farm Heritage Berkshire Pork we are proud that we meet or exceed the production standards of Certified Humane and have been granted certification of "Certified Humane Raised and Handled". We believe that the consumer wants a label they can trust:

At Newman Farm we strongly believe that for pork to be marketed as Heritage, Heirloom or Sustainably produced that the animal must be produced and finished outdoors. Today many are marketing crossbred white pigs as Berkshire pork. Also the term "Heritage" sounds great but might not be clear enough does this mean we lack sufficent labeling in this country? We are moving towards the term "Pastured". 

At Newman Farm you can see sows and pigs roaming freely across over 200 acres every day. We encourage our customer to come visit the farm and see the pigs.

 Berkshire Pork, also known as Kurobuta, (Black Pig in Japanese)is the "Kobe" of pork. True Kurobuta pork only comes from 100% pure-bred Berkshire hogs.

Today Berkshire Pork is the most highly sought after pork in the world. Berkshire pork looks and tastes like no other pork. Unlike commodity pork or "The Other White Meat"  Berkshire pork is visibly different.  It has a darker richer color with an abundance of intramuscular marbling it's flavor is distinctive with an unparalleled juiciest and tenderness for pork...

At Newman Farm we like to think of our Berkshire pork as "Pork the Other Red Meat".
