Farming practices that make all the difference

Controlled diet and breeding

Our grain-fed pigs are raised without the use of antibiotics, hormones, or animal by-products.

Stimulating environments

Hay for foraging and play areas. The idea is quite simple: to allow pigs to be pigs!

Less stressful living environments

Less noisy environments with better air quality.

2 to 3 times more space

Crate-free birthing pen offers the necessary space to encourage natural interactions between sows and their young.

No physical alterations

At duBreton there’s no clipping of teeth and tails, despite this being a widespread practice throughout the industry.

No crates

Our sows are able to move around freely in open, crate-free environments.

Humanely raisedThe label doesn’t tell the whole story.

You buy products that promise natural, humanely raised pork. These claims are often all about marketing.

An eye-catching label is no guarantee of ideal living conditions for the pigs if the farm has not obtained third-party certification.
