News Leader : Heritage Acres Pork Certified as Humane

Humane Farm Animal Care recently certified Heritage Acres Pork as “Certified Humane Raised and Handled.” The pork is raised in Missouri and processed in Mountain View at the Ozark Mountain Pork Cooperative.

Available since 2003, the certification requires on-site inspections by veterinarians and other animal scientists. It also requires that animals be fed an antibiotic-free diet and raised with enough space to allow for natural behavior.
