OUR STORY

Ray Rauton Farms was started in 2011. Jesse’s grandfather introduced him to raising livestock. In high school and college, he mostly sold whole hogs for July 4th and other holidays.

Then Jesse and Rhiannon Rauton graduated from Clemson University with an agriculture degree. That is when the dream started. We fell in love with the idea of regenerative farming while creating a delicious product. This is when we began to utilize our pigs to help clean up some of the overgrown properties while creating pastures for our cattle operation.

In 2024, we had the privilege of bringing on our new employee as our daughter was born! Our farm has grown so much in just a few years and we couldn't do it without our family, friends, and our community who continue to love and support us!

  • At Ray Rauton Farms, we prioritize the health and well-being of our pigs to ensure high-quality pork products. Our pigs are raised in a stress-free environment with ample space to roam and exhibit natural behaviors. We follow strict ethical standards, providing them with a balanced diet and regular veterinary care to maintain their health. By focusing on humane farming practices and sustainable agriculture, we aim to produce pork that is not only delicious but also responsibly sourced.

  • At Ray Rauton Farms, we believe in providing our customers with the highest quality pork, perfect for a wide range of delicious recipes. Here are a few of our favorites to help you get started:

    1. Savory Pork Loin Roast: Season a pork loin with your choice of herbs such as rosemary and thyme, then roast it in the oven until tender. Serve with roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

    2. BBQ Pulled Pork: Perfect for slow cookers or smokers, our pork shoulder can be transformed into mouth-watering BBQ pulled pork. Slow cook with your favorite barbecue sauce and spices, then shred and serve on sandwiches or tacos.

    3. Pork Chops with Apples: Pan-fry pork chops and top them with a sweet and tangy apple cider reduction. Pair with mashed potatoes or a side salad for a well-rounded dinner.

    4. Herb-Crusted Pork Tenderloin: Coat a pork tenderloin with a mixture of fresh herbs, garlic, and breadcrumbs, then bake until golden brown. Serve with a light gravy and roasted asparagus.

    5. Spicy Pork Stir-Fry: Slice pork tenderloin into thin strips and stir-fry with a medley of colorful vegetables and a spicy soy-ginger sauce. Serve hot over steamed rice for a quick and satisfying meal. For more recipes and cooking tips, be sure to visit our website or contact us directly.

  • Well… we are serious about what we do. We don’t want to just be a pig farm, but instead, a staple in our community that will continue to grow and withstand the test of time.
