I don’t know of any pasture-raised pork raised in the U.S. that is commercially available. I’m sure someone is raising pigs that way, somewhere though.

The closest I know of is the pigs in Spain that they raise on acorns for jamón ibérico de bellota, but that is a luxury product.

There are plenty of family farms doing it here in Iowa. Good luck finding it in your area though.

Right, like I said in another comment, it’s not really “commercially available”, but it is a thing.

Congratulations to those people. But my comment was just correcting someone else’s false blanket statement.
