We LOVE our Piggies!

CARE

We source our pigs from Road’s End Farm, a local farmer, for the past 2 years with great success. They have very similar farming methods as us: they raise their pigs outdoors, use only heritage breeds and love them as much as we do!

Since this is only our second year farming and raising pigs here, we are still testing out different methods. But we do have standards in place for care: outdoor living, access to clean, DRY bedding, clean water, access to organic grain feed, and 3-sided shelter.

We rotate our pigs throughout our pasture and woods by observing how quickly they till it up. We try hard not to have them be on bare soil for more than a day. And we are fortunate enough that we can allow each pasture/woodlot to rest for as long as it needs to before putting pigs back on it. This helps with the parasite control in our pigs, as well.

FEED

Our piggies are able to roam and forage in our woods and pasture for their food. We provide them with Certified Organic Grain (no GMOS) from a local farmer, as well. They also help us get rid of scraps! When we have leftovers, we will sometimes let them eat it, only if we know that it was organic food though. They LOVE the variety! We’ll also give them pumpkins or other garden veggies that meet our standards.
