In the heart of Lipa, Batangas, lies a hidden gem that captivates with its culinary marvels – Esguerra Farms. Led by the visionary businessman, Herminio “Hermie” Esguerra, this extraordinary farm near Mount Malarayat is far from an ordinary agricultural paradise. With its roots as a horse-breeding haven, Esguerra Farms has grown remarkably over the years, expanding its endeavors to include a diverse array of animals, from goats, sheep, ducks, chickens, tilapia, to the esteemed purebred Berkshire pigs that produce the illustrious Kurobuta – often revered as the Wagyu of Pork.
What started as a horse-breeding farm has since blossomed into a diverse agricultural marvel. Besides champion racehorses, Esguerra Farms now boasts an array of animals, including goats, sheep, ducks, chickens, tilapia, and hito (catfish). However, it’s the celebrated purebred Berkshire pigs that steal the spotlight, producing Kurobuta – often referred to as the Wagyu of Pork.
Kurobuta, the Japanese term for “black pig,” represents a pinnacle of excellence that is exclusively attributed to purebred Berkshire pigs raised with exceptional care and precision. Imagine tender, juicy meat with marbled fats that rival the finest cuts of beef – these distinctive characteristics make Kurobuta pork truly exceptional. Esguerra Farms holds the distinction of being the first and only farm in the Philippines dedicated to raising these extraordinary pigs.
At Esguerra Farms, the welfare of the Kurobuta pigs takes precedence. They roam freely in the vast, stress-free pastures of Batangas, living their best lives. The barns are thoughtfully designed to minimize stress during the pigs’ various life stages, and even music therapy is employed to keep the pigs content and happy.
One of the key differentiators of Esguerra Kurobuta is its commitment to natural farming practices. Their Berkshire pigs are raised without the use of antibiotics or synthetic growth hormones. The focus on cleanliness ensures the surroundings remain free from the unpleasantness commonly associated with commercial pig farms, creating a healthier and safer product for consumers.
A standout offering from Esguerra Farms is the sumptuous Esguerra Kurobuta Cochinillo. This delectable Berkshire Suckling Pig, weighing around 5 to 10 kilos and milk-fed, becomes the centerpiece of any celebration. With its crispy skin and tender, juicy meat bursting with savory flavors, Esguerra Kurobuta Cochinillo elevates any gathering into a regal feast.
