Recipes

Heritage, naturally raised meats have unique characteristics that should be understood and accounting for in their cooking.  Some of these characteristics - such as the firmer consistency of a free range chicken's legs - mean that you cannot cook these birds in the same manner as a commercial "couch potato" bird.  Other characteristics - like the rich natural flavor of Berkshire pork - mean you don't want to over power the meat with strong marinades or sauces as you have to do with bland store bought pork.
