Our commitment
Preserving resources and reducing waste
At Conestoga Meats, we believe responsibility and accountability are vital to our success. We’re committed to caring for our natural resources and reducing our carbon footprint.
As land-based hog producers, our farmers raise hogs on traditional farms, where natural, sustainable practices support both animal welfare and land stewardship. Nutrients and fertilizer generated by our hogs are recycled back into our fields to help maintain and improve soil quality.
During processing, we follow best practices that minimize waste and maximize resources.
