These pigs sure do live a great life! Our pigs were just moved from one of their wooded enclosures to a fresh new pasture where they’re free to root around and engage in all their funny pig-like behavior. This slow-raised approach allows them to graze, forage and grow naturally, enjoying seasonal acorns, walnuts, and mulberries, along with organic feed — including oats from our farm.

Raising pastured pigs in a forested rotation is good for the animals, good for the land, and results in more flavorful nutritious meat for you! Come by the farm stand Wednesday through Saturday to browse our new pasture-raised meat and farm-fresh produce.

As a reminder, our store is an immunocompromised safe zone and masks are required if you make the choice to shop in person. We also offer pre-ordering on our website with curbside pickup if you prefer to not mask. See you soon!
