Pork Fat is most commonly rendered for lard – perfect for high heat cooking, like searing pork shoulder for carnitas! Did you know, pasture raised pork fat is the second highest natural source of vitamin D after cod liver oil? Pork lard also contains other beneficial nutrients such as vitamin B complex, vitamin C, iron, and phosphorous making it a great choice for nutritious cooking.

1915 Pasture Raised Pork
The saying "pork, the other white meat" (aka pale pink) is non-existent in our vocabulary. Our pork has unmatched flavor, dark red in color and well marbled - the type of pork high-end restaurants are after. We do this by choosing "old world" heritage breeds, and put them in an environment they were designed to be raised in, either on pasture or in the brush where they can forage on grasses, acorns, whatever their snouts find with plenty of room to move in the sunshine, and supplemented with a NON GMO grain. When you raise pigs the way Tanner and I do, you don't have give them growth promoting drugs like sub-therapeutic antibiotics or beta-agonists which are so commonly used today in America (and illegal in many other countries). Drugs and crammed barns are a necessity to keep the price of grocery store pork low (yes meat is a commodity.. isn't that crazy?), and that is what many people want. However at 1915, we believe with all of our heart in providing a choice to those that value flavor, your health, and animal welfare first. - Catherine

Our Meats
Grassfed Beef
"One of my favorite chapters in the 1915 story is raising grass fed beef cattle, and it's likely not the reason you think. You probably know by now, Tanner and I do not have agriculture backgrounds (safe to say pharmaceuticals is on the other side of the fence here) so clearly our grass fed beef operation isn't a "fifth generation" ranch.Tannerand I are a fresh set of eyes on a very conventional way of doing things here in Texas, so unconventional that most grass fed beef in America is actually imported from other countries. Did you know that? This imported meat can even legally be labeled "product of the USA".Tannerand I are on a mission to raise delicious grass fed & finished beef here closer to home, so we opt to source/raise stocker calves from a handful of reputable grassfed ranches to put in our grass fed beef program and graze them on grasses and forage their entire life. It's quite simple really -1915grass fed cattle graze grasses and forage (no grain), without any shortcuts (if an animal is suffering we will use an antibiotic, and then remove the animal from our meat program). Processed at a local USDA inspected facility and dry aged to further enhance flavor and tenderness producing a premium grassfed beef" - Catherine
Pasture Raised Chicken
"There is a beautiful story tell raising chicken in a different light, very unconventional by today’s standard, especially in Texas. In a way that prioritizes quality over quantity, nutrition over cheapness, craft over assembly lines, and our health as top priority. The formula is quite simple. Raise the chickens the way they were put on earth to be raised, and their meat quality will reward us – with delicious flavor and enhanced nutrition. 99% of the chicken raised in America is in dark barns, fed GMO grains, given drugs, and dipped in chlorine, and kept behind closed doors from the public eye to see. Tanner and I are the founders of 1915 Farm, and we vowed from the very beginning to only sell chicken raised the the best way possible – outdoors on fresh pasture, supplemented with corn free soy free NON GMO grain, no antibiotics, no chlorine baths, and frozen and vacuumed sealed at the peak of freshness – sharing each step of the journey along the way as we bring the beautiful experience directly to your table, and trust me when I say, the quality won’t disappoint." - Catherine
