Pastured Heritage Pork Farm - North Caro
About This Project
Discover the extraordinary economics of heritage breed pork with AgroTrust's 600-acre operation in North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains, where Berkshire, Duroc, and Tamworth pigs live as nature intended - foraging on acorns, chestnuts, and pasture in wooded silvopasture. Heritage pork isn't commodity meat; it's a culinary treasure commanding premium pricing due to superior marbling, rich flavor, and ethical raising practices. Asheville's thriving food scene, with nationally-recognized restaurants, provides ready markets where chefs compete for our pork. When your pigs naturally clear forest understory while fertilizing soil, and restaurants call asking for more product, you know you're in a special market.
How You Get Benefit
Investors capture multiple revenue streams: whole pork sales to restaurants at premium pricing, value-added charcuterie production (bacon, sausage, cured meats) with 200-300% markups, and breeding stock sales to other farms entering heritage pork. Our USDA-certified processing facility and Animal Welfare Approved certification ensure we can charge - and receive - prices that reflect true quality. With 30+ restaurant accounts in Asheville alone and growing demand from Charlotte and Atlanta, we're scaling intelligently in a market that values story, quality, and ethics.

Our Goal & Challenge
AgroTrust is leading the heritage pork renaissance, proving that quality and ethics create better business models than industrial efficiency. Our challenge is managing free-range pigs across forested terrain while maintaining biosecurity and processing logistics. Through mobile sheltering, expert rotational grazing, and relationships with America's best chefs, we're building a brand that represents the pinnacle of pork quality. This is farming that makes chefs and investors equally happy - where exceptional products create exceptional returns, and everyone wins except perhaps the commodity pork industry.
