Pork
Raised with care, Delicious and easy to cook.
Certified organic means my pigs are only fed certified organic grain, graze and forage on land where chemicals and pesticides are never used, always have access to the outdoors, and are never treated with antibiotics, synthetic dewormers, or hormones.
In the summer my pigs graze and forage through my pastures and woods. In the winter they have a barn for shelter, and outdoor runs filled with wood chips and hay bales.
I raise my pigs from birth to slaughter which means I control every step and can ensure they are raised they way I want them to be from birth.
I raise a mix of breeds and am constantly experimenting with different breeding to produce pigs with the mix of traits that best fits my farm. Some of the traits I breed for are good temperament (friendly pigs and gentle mothers), grazing and foraging, and meat quality and flavor. A few of the breeds in the mix I raise are Idaho Pasture Pig, Large Black, Mangalista, and Ossabaw.
