This is ground pork that is left from making our original sausages. It is 100% free-range pork leg (ham) from Austria only - nothing else added - no spices, no additional fat, no trimmings. Compared to our ground pork from Hokkaido this pork is leaner at about 15-20% fat content only and therefore suitable for recipes that call for stir fry pork ground meat. If you are looking for juicier ground pork we recommend our free-range ground pork from Hokkaido.
The free-range pork comes from family farms in Austria, Europe. Strictly no factory farming. Completely free of antibiotics and growth hormones. Read more about the farms below.

Austria, probably the happiest place for pigs. Surrounded by mountains and pristine forests of Styria the pigs are farmed on microforms - small family operated and owned family farms. The pigs live on hay in groups of around 20 in free-range stalls. Occasionally the animals get to roam freely on the fields when the weather permits. Completely free of growth hormones and antibiotics. The feed is completely in-house grown and consists of corn, barley, wheat, soybean meal, extraction meal, amino acids, mineral mixtures.
