Pederson Natural Farms Inc. (5)

At Pederson Natural Farms, everything started with bacon.

The History of Pederson Natural Farms

Pederson’s began in 1992 with a grand total of two employees. They worked to offer a simple, five-ingredient bacon that was defined, in part, by everything left out—including like hormones and added nitrates. Over the past twenty years, they’ve added a variety of hams, sausages, and dogs to the lineup, all sourced from vegetarian-fed hogs.

Pederson Natural Farms Company Mission

Pederson Natural Farms offers high-quality pork products sourced in Texas from humanely raised pigs. The brand supports sustainable rural communities by partnering with farmers who have contributed to their local communities for generations.
