Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Froelich Farms?

We operate near Vale, South Dakota. 

Why is Kurubota pork so expensive?

Heritage breeds are specially raised and heralded for their intensely flavorful meat and fat. Conventional farm-raised pigs tend to lack the incredibly tasty fat that heritage breeds have maintained, and which keeps their meat juicy, tender and, yes, expensive. But if you’re a true fan of pork, heritage is worth every succulent bite.

How are your pigs raised?

Our pigs enjoy acres to roam and are the definition of Free Range. They are raised antibiotic- and hormone-free, are fed nutritious crops, and are allowed to graze on dozens of acres of barley and alfalfa. 

Do you grow organic food?

While we strive to cultivate food pesticide-free, we are not yet certified organic. The process is lengthy and expensive, but we are pursuing this milestone. 

Do you offer deliveries?

Yes. Orders that are received through the website can be delivered locally or shipped via insulated box and dry ice. We have perfected our method to ensure our quality products reach your home in the same condition they are shipped. 

What if I am unsatisfied?

While all sales are final, if you are unsatisfied by the quality of the product, please contact us at info@froelichfarms.com and we will be in touch to discuss a refund or credit. Our #1 goal is to take care of our customers.
