Only know of two commercial farms ( farms that produce for other tables beyond their own use) that pasture raise their hogs. Bet there are others.

I like Fickle Creek on the NC list above, and Coon Rock. Have done a Farm Tour at Coon Rock http://coonrockfarm.com and was totally terrified by the giant size and meanness of the boar...he needed to become lard but is worth $$. A quart of pastured lard is $10 here, but only about $6 from a standard pork producer. Also $25 for a 25 pound bucket of lard in the regular market  |
