We just received our first order of a heritage pig last weekend.
My husband is smoking the ribs for dinner tonight. Can't wait!! So excited to see if it's really *that* much better. 
So far we've also had turkey and it is SOOO much better than store turkey!
Anyone else eat heritage breed meats when they can?

@regberadaisy: I have no idea what this means, can you enlighten me? 
Is it akin to an heirloom tomato, for example, but for meats?

@T-Mom: @Bao: Yes, very similar. They are also typically grown by local, sustainable farmers, free to roam, not injected, etc etc,

We do. We used to get kurabota pig. Now my family raises Hampshire/Yorkshire crosses, but they do it organic, hormone free and "free-range" (well, they have the option to go out of their pen). They also get massages and scratches behind their ears their whole lives. I think they are infinitiely more delicious than store-bought!

We had regular St Louis Ribs last night with the ribs from our heritage pig. The heritage ones were sooo much leaner & dense!
