North Country Smokehouse Launches Its First-Ever Fresh Product

CLAREMONT, N.H. — North Country Smokehouse, celebrated for its award-winning, artisanal smoked meats and unwavering commitment to ethical farming practices, is proud to announce the launch of its first fresh product: Organic Ground Pork. Now available in convenient 1 lb. packs at all The Fresh Market locations, this new offering brings North Country Smokehouse’s premium, responsibly raised meat to the fresh pork aisle.

This Organic Ground Pork is sourced from the company’s own vertically integrated farms. Crafted with a balanced lean-to-fat ratio, it is ideal for everything from backyard burgers and skillet scrambles to hearty meatballs. As one of America’s few remaining family-owned smokehouses, North Country Smokehouse oversees every step from farm to fork—ensuring uncompromised quality in every bite. Certified Humane® and raised without cages or crates, the non-GMO pork is free from antibiotics and added growth hormones, meeting Prop 12 compliance.

“It’s no secret—meat tastes better when raised better,” says Aaron Corbett, CEO of North Country Smokehouse. “Our expansion into fresh pork is a natural next step toward our goal of making high-quality, organic pork accessible to everyone.”

Shoppers in search of versatile proteins with exceptional flavor can find the product on shelves at all The Fresh Market locations.
