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.

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. 

Feed Station

We have a mini silo on the way, also known as a bin. The mini bin holds two tons of grain in a weather proof storage unit that is easy to dispense. The 4,000 pounds of custom ground, organic feed will be used to feed the pigs in a more efficient and cost effective way.

While we are waiting on delivery of the silo, a cement pad needed to be poured to hold the weight of the feeder. Our sandy, loamy soil compacts tightly, but a substantial platform is needed.


The timing had to be just right because of the steady rains we've had this April. Cement needs time to set, dry and cure without getting wet. The driver of the cement truck managed to miss every single walnut branch! What a driver! Then he manipulated the big truck back to reach the cement pad and missed all of the apple tree branches. It was worth the delivery fee just to see the slalom driving skills from Riverside Ready Mix!


We went with an 8 inch thick, 6 foot square, reinforced with rebar. This will not only hold the storage bin full of feed, it will also hold its own when the rooting pigs get curious! It was a mad dash to fill the frame, level it, and put a smooth finish on before the next rainstorm hit.
