Our pigs start in a fenced pasture pen for about 4 weeks to teach them to respect the fencing then move them to pasture grazing to forage on a supplemental custom blend of grasses, brassicas and legumes which provide them with the nutrients needed for a healthy lifestyle.

No corn and no soy grain mix, as well as any extra raw milk from our dairy herd; and surplus garden vegetables from our homestead garden. To keep them healthy, we also include raw apple cider vinegar in their water, which aids their digestive system, keeps them free of parasites, and is a natural insect repellent.  

 We practice rotational grazing by moving the hogs to fresh pasture every 1-2 weeks. Portable shelters are provided to snuggle up on cool nights or to escape the sun on warm days when they are not resting in the cool pasture ponds
