Pasture-Raised Perfection: Mangalitsa Pork and Beyond
Welcome to West Maid Farms, a true haven for agritourists and food enthusiasts alike. Nestled in the heart of the Ozarks, our family-owned farm has been a labor of love for generations, dedicated to preserving the rich agricultural heritage of the region while embracing sustainable practices and innovation.
A Legacy of Exceptional Pork
At the core of our farm's identity lies the Mangalitsa, a rare and remarkable breed of pork that has captured the attention of chefs, foodies, and health-conscious consumers worldwide. Lovingly referred to as the "Kobe of Pork," these pasture-raised pigs are matured for 14-18 months, allowing their unique marbling and unparalleled flavor to develop.
Our commitment to the Mangalitsa goes beyond mere production - it's a deep-rooted passion that permeates every aspect of our operation. From the moment these gentle giants set hoof on our lush, rolling pastures, they are treated with the utmost care and respect, ensuring their well-being and the exceptional quality of the meat they provide.
Diversifying the Bounty
While the Mangalitsa may be our claim to fame, West Maid Farms is so much more than just pork. We take great pride in our diverse array of farm-fresh offerings, including:
- Pasture-Raised Lamb: Our Katahdin and Dorper lambs graze on the same verdant pastures as their porcine counterparts, resulting in a delicate, flavorful meat that is a true delight for the senses.
- Seasonal Produce: From juicy heirloom tomatoes to crisp, organic greens, our farm-to-table produce is harvested at the peak of ripeness, ensuring unparalleled freshness and flavor.
- Artisanal Skincare: Leveraging the nourishing properties of Mangalitsa lard, we've crafted a line of luxurious skincare products that pamper and rejuvenate, offering a true taste of the farm's bounty.
Embracing Sustainability
At West Maid Farms, we believe that responsible stewardship of the land is not just a lofty ideal, but a fundamental tenet of our operation. We employ a range of sustainable practices, from rotational grazing and integrated pest management to water conservation and renewable energy initiatives.
