Leading the Way in Ethical and California Prop 12 Compliant Pork Production

At Mangalitsa Estates, we pride ourselves on not just delivering exceptional pork, but also on setting high standards for animal welfare. In line with this commitment, we are proud to announce that 100% of our pork is compliant with California Proposition 12, making us one of the few, if not the only, Mangalitsa pork providers with the rights to sell to California-based customers.

What is California Proposition 12?

California Proposition 12, also known as the Farm Animal Confinement Proposition, is a law that sets new standards for animal welfare in farming. It requires that breeding pigs, egg-laying hens, and calves raised for veal have enough space to move around freely. This law is a significant step forward in ensuring the humane treatment of farm animals and sets a precedent for other states and countries to follow.

Mangalitsa Estates’ Commitment to Welfare Standards

Our commitment to animal welfare goes hand in hand with our dedication to producing a premium craft product. We understand that the well-being of our animals directly impacts the quality of our pork. By adhering to the guidelines set forth by California Prop 12, we ensure that our Mangalitsa pigs are raised in environments that allow for natural behaviors, leading to healthier and happier animals.
