FAQs about our pigs
Q: What are they fed?
A: Our pigs get a combination of grain (corn and soy), food waste and vegetables, along with any grubs, bugs or plants they find foraging in their pasture. When they are piglets they are started on grain diets and we eventually phase in peanuts, organic granola, bakery waste and fruits and vegetables from our garden or surrounding farms. They eat a lot of summer squash and cucumbers in the summer and pumpkins and apples in the fall. Our pigs are never fed “garbage” or cooked food waste, but we do get peanuts and bakery waste from producers whose batches are not up to standard for human consumption.
Q: How do we raise our pigs?
A: Our piglets and young pigs are raised on concrete outside and our sows, boar and finishing hogs have pasture and shelter. The concrete is for cleanliness and to keep the young pigs safe and close to shelter.
Q: What breed are they?
A: We raise Yorkshire cross.
The use of artificial growth hormones is PROHIBITED in hogs - So yes, our pigs are raised without artificial growth hormones
Antibiotics help us ensure the welfare and health of our pigs. They are used judiciously (only when absolutely necessary, by discretion of Sarah and veterinarian recommendation) and in approximately less than 5% of our herd.
