Pastured Pork

No vaccines, no hormones, no antibiotics.

Our pigs have good lives. They are given access to dirt & pasture & eat a unique diet of locally milled feed, raw milk, and forage, which results in tasty, juicy pork.

Our Pastured-Pork Program is GROWING!

Our farm is actively working with the Food Animals Concerns Trust mentorship program to expand our pastured pig set up.

We’re thrilled to be learning and growing in 2025, and we can’t wait to share the this journey with you!

Pigs are not cows.

I learned that very quickly when adding them to our farm. In addition to wildly different behavior and amazing intelligence, I now understand from good mentors that as nice as “grass-fed” pork sounds, it is not how a pig is designed to nourish itself alone.

So why can I feed my cows and sheep nothing but grass and have them thrive, while pigs require other feed inputs? It’s about digestion.

Cows are ruminants with uniquely created stomachs that can break up the tough fiber in grass to unlock protein and energy. Pigs just have a single stomach. Although our pigs eat plenty of grass, hay and weeds (and get some good nutrition from it), they are not good enough at digesting it to live on grass alone. For this reason we supplement with raw milk from our own milk cows/goats, sprouted barley, locally milled feed & organic corn.

I’m proud of how much time our pigs spend outside just being pigs. They’re happier and healthier for it, and the pork that comes from them is exceptional.
