Pasture Raised Pork

Dedicated to raising our livestock in as natural an environment as possible.

Taste the difference.

Pork Raised Outdoors

Our hogs live in a rotational pasture-based system. They graze in open pastures and wooded areas, exhibiting their natural behaviors while still being protected from predators. The result is a meat that is much more flavorful than any conventionally grown pork. We purposely plant grasses, brassicas, legumes and root vegetables for our hogs to feed on, in addition to the nuts and acorns supplied by the trees. We supplement with garden produce and grains to round out their diet.

The hogs all live in family units, with the sows giving birth in open pastures in nests they’ve built themselves. So long as the sow is healthy, her babies stay with her at all times being taught to root and graze. The piglets are weaned by the mother, not by us, further supporting their natural behaviors and enhancing their physical development.

Our hogs are never given antibiotics or hormones of any kind. If one needs doctoring that requires antibiotics, they are immediately removed from our meat program. Since we use methods that focus on the animals health and preventing illness, this has never happened to date. We eat the same pork we sell to you and it’s extremely important to us that we offer a high-quality, full-flavored and naturally raised product. As a result, we're proud to say our pork is always in high demand.

Hens On Grass

PLEASE NOTE: Due to continued predator pressure and less labor available to tend the flock, we have ceased egg sales for the foreseeable future as of 2023. We currently maintain a small flock for our own family only. We appreciate your understanding and are grateful for our customers who relied on our eggs for so many years.

Our girls are raised on pasture in areas protected from predators. It seems everything wants to eat chicken for dinner! In some instances, this means they are in a coop at night, then let out during the day to range in areas protected by fencing. In other cases, it may mean a moveable coop that keeps them protected at all times but still has them grazing on green grass and fresh bugs.

We try to keep our system functioning in a way that allows the hens to exhibit their natural behaviors, for both the health and happiness of our hens and the quality of the eggs, so we are extremely vigilant in protecting them while still allowing them to peck and roam. In exchange, they give us a healthy supply of eggs with beautiful dark yellow-orange yolks from all the bugs and grasses they munch on during the day. These eggs have a wonderful flavor, and we are convinced they are so much better for us than conventionally farmed eggs from the grocery. Our customers continue to tell us they can truly see the difference…and we agree!
