Polkadot piglets born overnight 😍

04/02/2026

Weaned the big batch this week — five litters all at once. Everyone is healthy, eating well, and settling into the weaning pen.

I have 20 piglets available from this group for late‑April pickup. If you’re planning to raise pigs this year, now’s the time to get on the list.

Send me a message if you’d like to reserve a few.

Weaning day prep for five litters — biggest batch I’ve done at once.
Added a second heat lamp to the weaning pen to keep everyone warm while they settle in.
Pig season is officially underway!

Outdoor‑Hardy Piglets — Ready Soon

If you’re looking for pigs that finish well on outdoors and produce real, high‑quality pork, these are the genetics that do it. The pork chops in the photos came from a pig bred here and finished by a customer — no filters, no fancy lighting, just honest results.

These are mixed‑breed piglets selected for:
• growth
• temperament
• outdoor hardiness
• conformation

I start rehoming at 6 weeks.
You can choose from what’s available now, or reserve for late‑April pickup.

Send a message if you’d like photos of the current pigs or want to get on the list.

Piglets are here and I’m now taking reservations for late‑April weaners. These are two of the larger litters, and I have 20+ pigs available.

Spring pigs go fast, and several spots are already spoken for, so if you want to get on the list, send me a message and I’ll reserve your pigs

First batch of spring litters was weaned today. Healthy, lively, and looking fantastic — really pleased with the genetics in this group

I wanted to experiment with a new side dish tonight. Tried pan‑fried potatoes, paired with green beans and a ham steak bred by me and finished by a client

Just got this message from one of my longtime clients. Grateful for folks who raise them right and keep coming back.

The first litter of the year arrived this morning.
This one belongs to Charlie — a parity‑9 sow who’s still going strong.

Most sows start slowing down after their seventh litter.
Charlie? She’s proven herself reliable, resilient, and long‑lasting, delivering nine healthy piglets today.

Nine litters deep and still nursing like a pro.

Farm rhythm’s been steady this week — infrastructure tightened up, animals settled in, and spring prep underway. Caught Sneaky Pete curled up with the new gilts a few days ago. No one told him he’s not a sow, but he’s got the nurturing part down.

Moments like this remind me why I do it — not just for the food, but for the life it creates
