Wild Boar Meat
A dark, lean meat with a big, bold taste, our wholesale wild boar meat is unlike much of the wild boar meat on the market. It is not farm-raised, it is truly wild. Wild-caught wild boar meat has a deeper color, tighter grain, and a more robust flavor than either farm-raised wild boar meat or domestic pork.

Is Wholesale Wild Boar Meat Truly Wild?
Although wild boar meat can be farm raised, most wild boar are truly wild animals. The ancestors of domestic pigs, wild boar can be found in many parts of the world, including Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America. They typically live in forests and other wooded areas, where they forage for roots, fruits, nuts, and insects.
Often hunted for sport or for their meat, wild boars are not native to the Americas but were introduced to the continent by European settlers in the 1500s as a source of food. Over time, the animals became overpopulated and in many parts of the United States wild boar is considered an invasive species.
Wild boars are known to be damaging to the environment and to agricultural crops. Their rooting and foraging for food can cause significant damage to forests and other natural habitats. They compete with native wildlife for food and resources and can carry diseases that can be transmitted to other animals. Due to their destructive nature, many states have implemented measures to control wild boar populations, including hunting, trapping, and other forms of population control. Consuming wild boar meat, then, is actually good for the environment.
