Pasture Raised Pigs


The slow grown pigs on the farm have had plenty of time to roam, root, graze, and move from pasture to pasture depending on the weather and time of year.


Fresh clean air, grass, sunlight and open access at all times raises the best tasting pork.


Walnuts and apples are among the favorite staple of the pigs, You can see their heavy jowls and snout used for roots and foraging.


Open pasture to roam and yes, play as pigs are quite intelligent and actually create games with one another.

Napping in the shade of the trees on the cool green grass.


Growing into happy and healthy animals, these pigs will be harvested soon. They have incredible flavor and exceptional meat quality and best of all there is never any hormone, antibiotic or genetically modified feed given to the animals on our farm for the home grown, sweet meat flavor.

Pasture Raised

Pasture raised is the motto on our farm! We have pigs, sheep, goats, turkeys, and chicken that live and grow out in the Southern Oregon sunshine and rain and fog and snow! In the middle of winter we have managed to see some amazingly sunny days in the midst of winter and even a pretty sunset or two along with the animals. All of the animals are on pasture for their whole life, except when they are the tiniest of babies in a warm, cozy stall with their mamas, or deep straw bedding and a heat lamp. Fresh well water, organic feed, pasture grass, vegetable surplus, and clean air.

Pig Bath


The pigs are growing so fast and in the summer time heat, they LOVE a cool bath! Tim sprays them with a hose and as soon as the pigs hear the water, they run for the bath, the cool water, and then they roll in the mud. Yes, the mud! So don't confuse pig bath with clean pigs! It is just a cooler, happier, muddy pig!
