Actually, Berkshire does not refer to way it is raised, it is a hog breed that is known for deep red meat and more marbling. Berks may or may not be free range, though typically they are raised that way.

1. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY NICHE PORK?

Pork that has certain attributes preferred and valued by some groups of customers. These attributes include: pork raised without antibiotics, growth promotants, or animal by-products in the feed; heirloom breeds such as Berkshire pork (also known as Kurobota pork); organic pork; and locally grown or farm direct pork. These attributes typically require unique production practices, which can limit supply and availability, making them niche products. .
