Pig Life

3 Reasons to say yes to our pork

1. Berkshires are the best

We raise Berkshire pork because the meat is incredibly juicy and has a fantastic flavor. It has gained a reputation as being the Kobe Beef of pork, which is to say that it marbles well and is very tender.  The flavor of our pork is unlike what you find in stores.

2. Better than humane treatment

Our pigs live out doors in the sun and the shade. They run, root, wallow, and lounge to their hearts' content. We feed a locally milled, non-GMO grain mixture, they devour the excess from our farm garden during the summer months, and the pigs can eat whatever they turn up in our diverse pastures and woodlands. 

It is our goal to give them a life worth living, every day.

3. Pasture Raised, No Soy, No Corn Pork

Our truly pasture raised pigs eat what they want from our no-spray pastures and glens. It's amazing to see how pigs will naturally graze when they have access to the outdoors! We provide supplemental feed that does not contain soy or corn, and all other ingredients are non-GMO.

We never:

• Feed antibiotics.
• Administer synthetic hormones.
• Spray with pesticides or herbicides.
