$5,000 Gina Burchenal Grant
Texas Iberico's pigs, one of few Iberico herds in the United States, are raised on the Trail's End Ranch in the Texas Hill Country which is woman-led by CEO Sondra Crawford. The company practices pasture rotation to aid in land restoration and allow their livestock to forage native plants – producing some of the healthiest and tastiest meats available. The company, well-known for its whole animal charcuterie, is expanding its product line to include locally made leaf lard, a premium bacon line, and pet treats.
The grant money will aid in the procurement of label artwork and recipe development.
