Exclusively raised for D'Artagnan by a family-owned farm in Quebec which follows European protocols for cochon de lait, or milk-fed pig. Their small-scale farm humanely raises Yorkshire breed piglets in spacious barns, nourishing them with a unique feeding program. The piglets get a proprietary milk solution while maintaining a natural nursing rhythm. This diet allows them to thrive and grow for longer periods of time, getting larger than the average suckling pig, while maintaining tender texture.
