WHAT THE CHEFS ARE SAYING
Crafted for those who know
From Michelin-trained chefs to beloved neighbourhood bistros - the finest pork, recognized by the people who matter most
“What Lucas creates with his pigs is a living example of true artisanry. A dialogue between patience, respect, and place. The depth of flavour he achieves is not just the mark of quality; it’s the reflection of a craftsman who stands for something real. ”
— Chef Cedric Toullec - owner of Lou Pécou Artisanal Pizzeria“For the conscientious omnivore, Lucas is raising his animals on a small scale with the love and attention that unfortunately is all too rare in this day and age, resulting in some of the best pork I've ever tasted that we're very proud to serve at the restaurant.”
— Chef Brad Saunders - Head Chef, Fossil Farms Restaurant, Egerton, NS“Hands down the best tasting pork you can buy in Nova Scotia… I highly recommend reaching out to Lucas from Mavelus Farms and getting in on his next delivery trip. Try out a couple chops, I promise you won't regret it. They will ruin regular pork chops for you.”

“Lucas has something special out here, the pork is phenomenal and eats like a beautiful steak while having a unique flavor profile that reflects the terroir they are raised in. Having used it for everything from home meals to high end events, it really brings a special something to every meal!”
— Chef Ben Gilker, Chez Cecile, Montreal“I was introduced to Mavelus Farms while working at Edna, I was blown away by the quality and the flavour of the pork, I had never had pork so good in my 13 year career. Highly recommend. ”
— Chef Dave Kuypers - Sous Chef Edna Restaurant, Halifax“The best pork I have had, full stop. Talk with Lucas, and it becomes very apparent why his pork is so delicious: he is deeply passionate about what he does and loves good food - the best possible combination one could hope for in a farmer. Nothing but love for Mavelus Farm and Mavelus pork.”
— Chef Matt Gardiner, halifax“You can tell Lucas takes great pride in raising beautiful pigs. It shows in the end result. Beautiful pork from healthy animals always delivers a delicious clean flavour, and beautifully coloured meat. Some would say the best in the province.”
