Reviews for: Pete's Fine Swine

I signed up with Pete's Fine Swine as part of my "eat local and sustainable" efforts and I couldn't be happier! I've been to the farm. I've seen Pete interact with his animals. They live well and eat well in his care. And the meat is fabulous! My boys always ask for more, whether it's a pork steak, chops, roast, bacon. They love it all - and so do I!

After reading The Righteous Porkchop, we got a conscience about pork. In our quest to eat right, we found Pete, and have been ordering from him ever since. His pork is THE best. Why? Because--he does what he does, and he does it right. He feeds the pigs right. He pastures the pigs--this is hard to come by. He has a butcher come out to the farm, and Byron Center Meats does an exceptional job processing and packaging. He is so fast with communication. Even though we now live in Milwaukee, we plan our visits home to southwest Michigan around Pete's butchering schedule! Given our history with Pete and his product, when he decided to pilot Rose Veal, we were thrilled! The roasts!!! Oh. My. WORD!!! Amazing! The ground veal will make any recipe stand out...and the steaks are in a class by themselves. In his commitment to farm the right way, Pete has raised the bar--on practice and product. And, these days, we all know that is worth more than silver and gold!

We have never been big pork eaters in our family but we bought our first pig from Pete at the recommendation of others. We were hooked from the first bite!! The meat is fresh tasting and has great flavor. Whenever we have used it for a family party or event we get rave reviews (which makes me happy because then everyone thinks i'm a great cook:)). We have also purchased chickens and rose veal from Pete and the meat from those is fantastic as well. It's great to know that the meat is coming from a good, clean environment where the animals are treated humanely and truly seem to live a happy existance while they are here. I highly recommend any of Pete's product!!

I was never a pork lover...or even liker for that matter until I tried sausage from Pete's Fine Swine. Now I can't get enough of it and my family LOVES it!!! We love knowing where our food comes from and working with Pete is always nice.

I will never go back to store bought pork. I've visited his farm and it is run so well. The pigs are in great health and well taken care of. The process is so easy. I definitely recommend Pete's Fine Swine.

I have been purchasing pork and chicken from Pete's Fine Swine for the past several years. My family loves it! I know when I eat meat from Pete, I don't have to worry about hormones, additives, or cruel treatment of the animals. Our favorite is the chicken. Fresh, tender, and best taste you can find!

This is the best pork I have had in many, many years. The rose veal is superb. The care that Pete puts into his animals shows in a very high quality product that is worth every penny. Especially if you remember what well treated, local meat used to be like before the factory farms.

This is the best pork we have ever had, and we greatly appreciate the care that Pete gives the pigs. Before I found Pete's pigs, I had stopped eating pork due to what I perceive as unethical and disgusting treatment of pigs on factory farms. Pete has restored my faith that eating a pig is morally acceptable due to the attentive care he gives his pigs. Being slaughtered on site is also important to me and my husband. The fact that the pork tastes unbelievably good is wonderful, too. I won't consider getting pork from anyone but Pete. It is simply the best. I know the pigs have had a good "pig life". Many thanks to Pete for his work.
