Eatwild.com-Website for Grass Fed meats in the US and Canada

Slanker's Farm ships United States / Canada / Puerto Rico.

I bought 60 pounds of beef from them 6 months ago and it was a 4 day shipping, but it came still-frozen, so they are good at this. But now I am getting beef locally for cheaper.

When I had ordered all their wild pigs were sold out. not any more! I am really considering getting some pork from these guys. Because all I eat beef, beef, beef so... It would be a treat to get this. because I cannot find "naturally" fed pigs anywhere near me. From what I can discern it is pretty good pork they sell.

there is two ordering methods

quote from one of the pages I linked.

Our hogs are LEGITIMATE GRASS-FED (actually wild-raised) critters. Therefore our pork comes from the most "naturally-raised" pigs in the world! They are WAY BEYOND "PASTURED." Unlike some pork offerings from disreputable outfits easily found on the Internet (some so despicable they even copy our words verbatim on their Web sites), our pigs are not raised on feeds we provide. They literally forage at large eating what pigs eat -- which is virtually everything and anything that's in the natural wild world. Our pigs are not BIG. Sometimes they are quite lean, sometimes they are fat. The only time we feed our pigs is while they are being held just prior to being sent to processing. Then we feed them alfalfa -- a high quality green leafy plant. By the way, since nuts are very seasonal it only makes sense that pigs cannot be dining on acorns and such for more than a couple months a year. So, beware of folks who claim their pigs are raised on acorns. Not only are acorns highly seasonal, but in actual fact they are really not at nutritious as grass by any means.

The Alfalfa finish could be a concern. depends how long it is for. Alfalfa is not a grain but more calorie dense than other grasses I think. And if the pigs just consume this one product for a period of time I'm sure it alters the meat from a more optimal condition. But it's the best I have found, until I learned from this thread about other places.

I am kind of skeptical of pasture-raised pigs. I need to find out whether they can truly subsist healthily on a pasture in comparison to the truly natural diet which may include small rodents i think. Because the pig does not have four stomachs...

But Slanker's Farm claims some of their pigs to be truly wild "joined in" also for them to forage acorns berries. So this is not just a grass pasture. more like forrest I think.
 
Thanks for creating this thread, Menrva! I would like to add this link to a site that my friend told me about: _http://www.grasslandbeef.com/StoreFront.bok When I ordered from them everything came in one day and was delivered frozen in a styrofoam box with an ice pack. I really enjoy the taste of the beef products I ordered and now I'm curious to try the rabbit and bison they are also selling. In case anyone orders from them, they have a coupon once a month in their newsletter section.

Thanks for the tip, just placed a small holiday order with a 15% discount. That plus the free overnight shipping makes the pricing pretty reasonable IMO. If I don't post back - assume it all arrived and got eaten quickly. :)

From what i have learned in the short time with my few pigs, and speaking with others is that Alfalpha is one of the best things they can eat. It satisfies their high protein requirements. With regards to small rodents. I have tested this on my pigs, and they do not seem too interested, but i have also found that they need to learn what to eat. Especially if they have been given the addicting grains in any shape or form. It took quite awhile to get them to eat hay this winter for example, but now they cannot get enough of it. They do like bones, and the occasional bloody something or other, but i have found this makes them too aggressive.
