The Problem
One indicator of the shady nature of the pork industry is the difficulty for consumers to find out just exactly how their sausage was made. In large part, this is a result of “ag-gag” laws: laws that prevent film or photography inside factory farms without the owner’s consent. This lack of accountability among conventional farmers has huge negative impacts on marketplace transparency, environmental protection, food safety, and animal welfare.
Our Food Fix
You can take a stand for transparency in your food system with every bite of Local Roots pork. Our sausage maker, Jacuterie, only sources locally- and responsibly-grown ingredients from small, family farms in the Northeast that raise heritage breeds.
What Locals Are Saying...
Local Roots meat is handled with care and you can taste it. There are no preservatives, nitrates or funky chemicals. It's super fresh.
