Free-range pork producer questions industry's future as family decides to bow out

Melinda Murnane shared her disappointment on the state of her industry."In the past three to four months we have seen our two biggest and most direct competitors close their doors.Her voice cracked as she described the toll it had taken on her family.

"When we looked at our kids, it catches you in the back of the throat even now talking about it, but our oldest is 10 and our baby is three and what have we done in the past 10 years?" she said. "We've worked our guts out, we really have, we've had no holidays we've had no weekends off and if we continue to do that for another 10 years they're going be all grown up and gone and we will have missed all of that."

Wasabi executive chef Zeb Gilbert and Rhodavale Pork's Melinda Murnane have both received recognition from the slow food movement.

That's very sad. These people have worked so hard.

I bet the folks down-wind of that operation are happy to hear that they are shutting down.

Sad that people won't pay a little more for ethically produced products. Stressed animals mean more stress hormones in your meat. You're putting that in your own stressed body.
