Yoder Family Farms Duroc Pork - Lone Tree, Iowa
Yoder Family Farms Duroc Pork produced its first pigs in 2018, but the vision for our farm began much earlier than that. When my dad retired from his farrow-to-finish operation in 2008 after 35 years in the business I was determined to raise pigs again. From that point forward the planning began and the foundation of the plan was to raise a pig that we would be proud to directly market to our family, friends, and neighbors. We want to deliver the highest quality pork to the consumer. To do that we chose the Duroc breed for our farm. Having Duroc pigs allows us to not only produce pigs outside in the ever changing Iowa environments, but also the potential to produce high quality pork through genetic progress. Every animal we raise is the result of careful consideration and decisions with the sole goal of producing tender and tasty pork.
We are proud to share the results of that plan with everyone. Our farm is not only about raising pigs, but producing the highest quality pork that everyone can enjoy. We hope that you enjoy the pork that we raised as we work on building a farm that will supply pork in Eastern Iowa for generations to come.
Thank you,
Chad, Tiffany, Luke, Owen, & Adam

Barbecue or Smoke for That Perfect Taste: For pork barbecue, slow-cook the meat on a grill or smoker with wood chips to infuse the meat with a rich, smoky flavor.
