The Tale of Two Pigs: When You Choose Cunningham Pork, You Choose Clean Meat Raised with Integrity

Not all pork is the same. The way a pig is raised makes all the difference in flavor, nutrition, and peace of mind for your family. Here’s the tale of two pigs—one raised on a commercial factory farm and one raised the Cunningham Ranch way.

Pig #1: The Factory-Farmed Pig 🏭

  • Raised indoors in cramped crates or on concrete floors.
  • Fed a diet heavy in GMO corn and soy, plus synthetic vitamins and questionable fillers.
  • Exposed to stressful, crowded environments that weaken overall health.
  • Often processed into pork products full of nitrates, MSG, preservatives, and additives.
  • May even include ammonia-treated scraps and “mystery meat” in mass production.

  • The result? Pork that’s bland, unhealthy, and lacking the integrity your family deserves.

      Pig #2: The Cunningham Pig 🌾

      • Raised outdoors on pasture, with wide-open space, fresh air, and sunshine.
        Fed real food: non-GMO peas for protein and barley for fiber—plus all-natural foraging.
      • Free from soy, corn, dairy, and sugar.
      • No crates, no confinement, and no synthetic shortcuts.
      • Processed with no nitrates, MSG, artificial preservatives, or fillers—ever.
      • The result? Pork that’s clean, richly flavored, and raised with integrity from start to finish.
