At first when I saw this announcement I wasn’t sure it would fit here on AgWired but then I saw that it contained a link to a website I haven’t ever seen before. It’s Niche Pork, The Other Opportunity. Actually I couldn’t tell you what niche pork was until surfing around on the website.

Niche pork has been defined as: Supplying unique pork and pork products in a way that specific customer segments prefer or value.

The announcement was about a niche pork production conference:

Pork producers interested in alternative production methods and in marketing value-added or niche pork will be able to attend the Niche Pork Production Conference on Feb. 17, 2006, at Western Michigan University’s Fetzer Conference Center in Kalamazoo, Mich.

You can get more information about the conference here.
