Savor the remarkable difference of what is now considered to be some of the finest natural pork available.

Berkshire Pork

"Six Point Berkshire Pork is simply the finest natural pork I have ever tasted. The product is exquisitely handled both on the farm and during processing. The finely marbled texture, which holds up long after the pork has been cooked, is unique. The flavor is incomparable and consistent within all cuts. Finally, after decades of notable absence, real pork is back!"

New and Old Standards of Flavor

With the growing appreciation in America for artisan and authentic traditional foods, it is about time to offer a naturally raised gourmet quality pork here close to home. Six Point Berkshire has refined breeding and natural production methods into the very discriminating Japanese market. There Six Point has consistently satisfied the taste for "Kuro Buto", the traditional name by which Berkshire pork is known and enjoyed in Japan. Similar in stature to Kobe Beef, it is raised and prepared as a delicacy, savored in smaller portions for its flavor.

Unsurpassed characteristics

The Berkshire line has deep roots in Europe and America, going back hundreds of years to Britain. And now, chefs worldwide are acclaiming its unique characteristics. Possessing considerably more marbling than conventional pork and richer, deeper color, it consistently produces meat with unparallel tenderness, moisture and flavor. Initial responses of cooks, restaurateurs, and chefs to our tastings and shipped samples have consistently exceeded our expectations. And they've confirmed what our Japanese customers already knew.

State of the art methods, traditional care

The twenty farms that comprise Six Point are all family owned, many of them have been for generations. By organizing and managing our farms as a tightly knit cooperative, in a close local geography in Southwest Minnesota, Six Point Berkshire has been able to selectively maintain and refine their 100% purebred stock.

The pigs are allowed to roam and root freely, spending as much of their days outside as weather and temperament permit. They are raised with out the use of sub-therapeutic antibiotics or growth-promoting hormones.

Small batch craft processing

To do justice to this exceptional meat, Six Point Berkshire sought out a processing partner that embraces the same ideals they hold, combining state-of-the-art facilities and standards, traditional craft attention to detail, humane treatment of the animals, small batch processing and expert hand cutting of portions. Six Point Berkshire found an ideal match with USDA Certified Lorentz Meats, located in Canon Falls, MN. Together they offer a full line of fresh pork, from primals to individual cuts. No artificial ingredients, coloring or preservatives are used and all products are minimally processed.
