Why Cunningham Pork is a Cut Above the Rest

At Cunningham Ranch, we believe pork should taste the way nature intended—clean, flavorful, and raised with integrity. Our pigs roam outdoors on fresh pasture, foraging freely in the sunshine. Their diet is supplemented with Non-GMO grains like peas and barley—never corn or soy. That means every cut of pork you buy from us comes packed with rich, authentic flavor you won’t find in mass-produced pork.

Unlike conventional pork, ours is:
✓ Pasture Raised
✓ No Hormones or Steroids
✓ Never Fed Drugs or Antibiotics
✓ Non-GMO Feed (Peas + Barley)
✓ Soy-Free, Corn-Free, Dairy-Free, Sugar-Free
✓ No Nitrates, MSG, or Preservatives

This isn’t just pork—it’s clean meat you can trust to nourish your family.

Quick & Delicious Recipe Ideas with Cunningham Pork

Here are a few easy ways to bring our pork to the table:

🥘 Weeknight Pork Chops
Season Cunningham Ranch pork chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sear in a cast-iron skillet, then finish in the oven at 400°F until juicy and tender. Serve with roasted potatoes and a simple green salad.

🌮 Pork Chorizo Tacos
Our clean, bold chorizo is perfect for taco night. Cook it up in a skillet, spoon into warm tortillas, and top with fresh cilantro, onions, and a squeeze of lime.

🍝 Italian Sausage Pasta
Brown our sweet Italian sausage in olive oil, then add onions, garlic, and marinara sauce. Toss with penne pasta and finish with Parmesan and fresh basil for a hearty, wholesome meal.

🥢 Ground Pork Stir-Fry
Use our ground pork with ginger, garlic, and tamari sauce for a quick Asian-inspired stir-fry. Add seasonal veggies—like zucchini, peppers, and broccoli—and serve over rice.

🥢 Ground Sweet Italian Sausage Sweet & Sour Meat Balls on Rice
Use our ground pork with salt, pepper, egg, panko and 90/10 ground beef. Add additional Italian Seasoning and Garlic Powder and parmesan cheese and one can of tomato paste. Mix all ingredients well. Roll into balls, cook on a tray pre-prepped with olive oil- appx. 400 for 20 minutes or until golden brown and sizzling. Top rice with meatballs. Add your favorite Sweet and Sour Sauce - I love quick Asian-inspired Asian Infusion Sweet & Sour Organic Sauce.  Add seasonal veggies—I love stop light peppers for a bright color—and serve over rice.
