Autumn Olive Farms

Waynesboro, Virginia (Berkshire & Ossabaw genetics, pastured)

Our friends at Autumn Olive Farms exemplify stalwart and steadfast care for round-the-clock, creative, intelligent, and experienced farming stewardship whose end result is some of the finest pork in the nation. Since 2005, they have been honing their craft of animal husbandry through immersive and sustainable practices and are efficient and productive micromanagers of top quality. Through patient, closed-loop breeding coupled with extensive rearing methods and hair-splitting attention to feed detail, they have cracked the code to the tip-top-tier alimentary experience. Ultimately tender, firm, and marbled muscle capped by dense and unctuous fat meld in an explosive flavor that boggles the palate. Such perfect pH and ratioed muscle-to-lipid yield is the dream of every sausage-producing butcher, and much of the success of our sausage and emulsfied product line is due in large part to these raw materials. Not only do the folks at Autumn Olive refuse to waver from the model of ultimate life experience for the animal, they do it with care, pride, passion, and gusto. We couldn’t be more fortunate to be aligned with such an elite operation—and to call them friends is a point of pride that we hold in the highest respect.
