Our Story

A family farm. A distinctive breed. A shared table.

Mangalitsa Estates grows out of the Kerns family’s farming heritage and a belief that exceptional food begins with the people who raise it. Our family raises Mangalitsa pork on our farm and shares it with home cooks, chefs, and butchers who care about flavor and where their food comes from.

Why we chose Mangalitsa.

The breed’s deep red meat and generous marbling caught our attention. Its rich culinary character kept it. From a carefully cooked chop to a slow-braised shoulder, Mangalitsa gives the cook something distinctive to work with.

We know the story from the beginning.

Our pork is born and raised on our farm. That connection matters to us: the food we offer represents our family’s work, our care for the animals, and the relationships we build with the people at the other end of the table.

From our farm to your kitchen.

Whether you are planning a special meal or discovering a new favorite cut, we are here to help. Have a question about a product or need help choosing? Contact our family at customer support.
