What is the difference between a pork producer and a processor?
Pork producers actually raise the pigs and they may be responsible for the processing and sale of the pork, or they may supply the pigs to a processor who processes the pork and sells it. The nichepork.org database* contains both producers and processors who offer pork products having niche attributes. * Nichepork.org database producers/processors are self-proclaimed. The National Pork Board has not verified that the information these packer/processors have listed is correct.
