On Wednesday, April 28, 2021, we’re giving away uncooked 5-POUND PORK LOINS to the first 1,000 households. Details below.

It’s our way of saying “Thank You” for supporting Iowa pig farmers and employees at pork processing facilities as they’ve worked to keep a safe food supply available to the community and for the country—despite COVID-19 challenges.

At an early afternoon event organized by the Iowa Pork Producers Association, local businesses will be thanked by an area farmer for the support the community has shown farmers this past year.

Also as part of the “Thank You” celebration, Iowa pig farmers will:

• Donate pork to the local food bank and food pantries for their continued work to alleviate hunger.
• Provide pork coupons at local grocery stores for consumers to use.
• Deliver pork thank-you baskets to local first responders.
