Chivo uses hogs that are fed local grain procured from a grower in New Market, Tennessee and then processed by a USDA inspected facility in Greenville. This meat is then brought directly to Chivo's store. Other locally sourced items at Chivo include beef, lamb, and goats from local farms, and vegetables from local farmers, weather permitting.
They grind their own flour from local, non-GMO white dent corn combined with other heirloom variety corn sourced directly from a Mexican cooperative, Masienda.
