Delivering a variety of our healthy, high quality, vacuum- packed pork cuts to your freezer.The Whole Pig – Teresa and Martin Van Raay
Martin & Teresa Van Raay, Pork Producers
From our farm to your freezer; this is the Whole Pig experience. We specialize in delivering a variety of high quality pork products directly to your home and supplying you with the tools and recipes to maximize your dining experience.
Our pork is home grown at our farm near Dashwood, Ontario. We use the highest quality standards when raising our pork, which is obvious in the end product. Our pigs are fed corn, soybean meal, whey and a supplement which is fortified with essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids to optimize our pigs’ health and nutrition.
The product is processed at our local abattoir; Metzger Meat Products-where the talented Gerhard Metzger and his team trim and prepare the pork to our specifications. Our pork is always vacuum packed and frozen within 20 hours of processing, or as we like to call it ‘freshly frozen’. When our product is properly defrosted at home, it will be equivalent to fresh pork and have very little moisture loss.
Our packages come in a variety of sizes, with the smallest fitting into most fridge freezers. A quarter order gives 2 people, 2 meals a week for 6 months with at least 15 different meal options. The IHNIWTOO (I Have No Idea What to Order Order) includes Roasts, Ribs, Steaks, Sausage, Bacon, Burgers, Pork Tenderloins, Porkerettes, Chops and Hocks -- you get them all. FYI Porkerettes are awesome 100% Pork Meat Sticks. More detailed product info...
Through our website, you have access to a nutritionist, wellness coach, chef, and of course us, Martin and Teresa Van Raay, to answer questions on how pork fits into your lifestyle (Fast, Slow, Single, Family, Sports Enthusiast, Baby Boomer, Generation X, Y or Z).
Remember, it is important to eat a balanced diet daily; Pork Fits. Pork is an important part of this. Not only does pork supply you with essential vitamins and minerals- it is a lean source of protein and tastes really, really good. Pork has been misunderstood for a number of years when it comes to fat content. Did you know pork has 10 cuts that are lower than 6 grams of fat per 100 g serving? Or that Pork contains no trans or hydrogenated fats?
With The Whole Pig you will know how your food is raised, know it is butcher shop quality, and our ground pork, burgers and sausage are gluten free (Ingredients: pork meat and spices)
Whether you choose the Quarter, Half or Whole Order, we can tailor a package to suit your lifestyle.
We deliver and we stand behind our product. A package of our products in your freezer is like having your own personal meat counter available to you anytime.
We look forward to serving you.
