"Clean" Pork Producers (Organic / Grass-fed / Natural)

Question: is corn considered a grain or a veggie? If it's a vegetable, then it should not be a problem if there is corn added to their feed, as long as it's organic. Any comments on that?

It’s considered grain from my understanding and it’s one of the grains that gets more toxins due to the pesticides farmers use on the corn fields!
 
I agree about the quality of hunted meat being not ideal if you’re trying to avoid GMOs, etc. The deer where I am fatten themselves up in the fall on GMO corn. Their meat doesn’t even taste gamey because of it.

Anyway, if you are in the United States I like Dutch Meadows Farm for pastured pork, poultry, beef, lamb and eggs. They also sell raw dairy. They are based out of Pennsylvania but will ship to most if not all of the lower 48 states. I will maybe place an order once a month or every other because the shipping costs are hefty.

 
Cool, I found a producer of good pork in Southern BC in case anyone is interested. I emailed the farmer and the pigs are not fed conventional/GMO feed - they are fed with barley, pastured, given fruit and veggie scraps, and finished with apples. Looks pretty darn good for $8 per pound!


They also sell fat for $3/lb! That's crazy! Nowadays I use rendered fat from the pigs I raised as an additive to soups and the grass-fed beef I eat. This may be a good option for people who can't find cost effective clean pork - ask the farmers if they'll sell you fat, render it, pressure cook it, and spend the apocalypse in comfort and enjoyment.
