Jacob Springs Farm produces pork using a combination of traditional methods and farming innovations to produce both the highest quality pork and the highest possible welfare for the animals while maximizing the economic viability of the business to sustain their farm community. This is in stark contrast to the modern methods of swine rearing
Jacob Springs adheres to the principle
Pork Quality being a combination of breeding and feeding, Jacob Springs tries to maximize the quality of both while finding ways to make it profitable.
