Heritage breed pigs come from bloodlines going back hundreds of years when livestock was raised on multi-use, open-pasture farms. Because of their lifestyle and inherent genes, di fferent breeds became known for a variety of characteristics...including the rich and hearty taste of their meat, distinct marbling, bacon flavors and creamy fat. Today, these breeds still carry excellent qualities, but many are not suited for commercial farming practices. As a result, they are in danger of being lost forever.

Chef's family moved to Missouri in the 1830's, and shares the Museum's devotion to preserving the foods and heritage of the area.
