🐖 HOW MANY ANTIBIOTICS ARE IN YOUR GROCERY STORE PORK?
Most people don’t realize this…
In large-scale factory farming, pigs aren’t just given antibiotics when they’re sick.
They’re often given them:
• At weaning (one of the most stressful times in a pig’s life)
• Throughout their growth to prevent disease
• In group treatments when conditions make illness spread fast
Not one dose.
Not one time.
Multiple exposures over their lifetime.
Why?
Because when animals are raised in overcrowded buildings with limited fresh air, sunlight, and space… disease spreads quickly.
And the system depends on antibiotics to keep it running.

🐖 That’s not how we do things at Parker Farms.
At Parker Farms, our pigs are raised the way they’re supposed to be:
• Fresh Aroostook County air
• Open space to move, root, and live naturally
• Sunlight, snow, and real ground beneath their feet
• Fed a clean, high-quality, soy-free feed milled locally by Buck Farms in Mapleton
Because of that…
We don’t rely on routine, unnecessary antibiotics.
Antibiotics are not part of the system — they’re only if an animal truly needs them
⸻
🥩 The result?
• Deep red, healthy-looking pork
• Clean, honest flavor
• Meat you can feel good about feeding your family

⚠️ Factory-farmed pork has a cost.
It’s just not on the price tag.
