Heritage Bred for Rich, Exceptional Flavor
Deeply marbled, richly flavored, and unlike ordinary pork, Meishan pork is tender, savory, and raised to be worth slowing down for.

Forest and Pasture Raised
As of February 6, 2026, 687 Meishan piglets have been born at Elemental Acres.
We are honored to have been recognized as a Founding Member of the American Meishan Breeders Association. Since our start, we have been dedicated to preserving the Meishan from extinction. In 2018, the Livestock Conservancy listed the Meishan as ‘Critically Endangered’; in May 2024, this status was upgraded to ‘Threatened.’ We are proud to have played a significant role in the Meishan’s recovery. To that end, 100% of our Meishan breeding stock is AMBA registered.
At Elemental Acres, our Meishans live the way pigs are meant to live—outside, on pasture and in the forest, where they spend their days rooting, foraging, and expressing their natural instincts. This lifestyle not only supports animal welfare but also produces pork that is nutritionally and culinarily distinct.
The result is pork that is rich, tender, and deeply flavorful; raised outdoors on pasture and wooded hillsides; corn- and soy-free; and sourced from a rare heritage breed worth preserving.
By raising Meishans for both breeding and pork, we help protect an exceptional breed while producing high-quality food. When you buy Meishan pork, you support humane outdoor raising practices, heritage breed conservation, and a more flavorful, thoughtful way to eat pork.
