Flying Pigs Farm is located in the Battenkill River Valley of New York State, which is actually about 200 miles north of New York City. But fortunately for Manhattanites, products of the farm are regularly featured at the Union Square Greenmarket. A variety of pork products are sold at the market including bacon, sausages, pork belly, and lard.
Flying Pigs Farm is a family run farm that specializes in rare heritage breeds of pigs. The pigs are allowed to roam freely around the farm’s fields and forests, which the owners believe results in a higher quality meat. But don’t just take the owners’ word for it – several restaurants around Manhattan also believe in the quality of Flying Pigs Farm products, including Craft, Fiamma, and Gramercy Tavern.
A pound of Flying Pigs Farm bacon is slightly more expensive than your average pound of bacon from the corner butcher. But the quality more than pays for itself.
