MY NAME IS MARI NYSSEN AND MY PRIMARY PASSION IS IN BREEDING,  RAISING AND SELLING MY EXCEPTIONAL PORK. I ALSO SELL WEANERS AND FAIR PIGS. MY APPROACH IS THOUGHTFUL YET SIMPLE. A LOVING AND KIND STEWARDSHIP OF SEMI- ORGANIC HOGS AND PORK TO CSA’S, FARMER’S MARKETS AND TO CHARITY. THE MOST IMPORTANT INGREDIENT IN MY PROGRAM IS LOVE! PURE AND SIMPLE.
