OUR MISSION
Since 1992 Pederson's Natural has existed to help families gather around better food. We craft premium Duroc bred pork with uncompromising quality, responsible practices, and flavor worth sharing.
A NOTE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
"Pederson's is a people business. We've done natural and we've done humane caring of livestock way before anybody else thought it was a big deal. We've been doing the right thing for a long time, and more and more people are recognizing that. At the end of the day, we sell a product that we can take pride in."
