Gunthorp Farms

Gunthorp Farms Specializing in pasture-raised pigs, chickens, ducks & turkeys. We sell directly to some of the finest restaurants & retailers in the Midwest!

Gunthorp Farms is a family farm that raises, processes, and distributes pork, chicken, duck, and turkey. Our family has raised pigs on pasture for at least four generations. We started raising poultry commercially for Frontera Grill. We have a USDA inspected processing plant on the farm. Greg Gunthorp is very active in the sustainable agriculture movement in the US. Watch for our products in the nicest restaurants and stores in the midwest. And watch for Greg at a sustainable, organic, or small farm conference or a list serve near you.

Not many pigs get to make the trip to the processing plant like this.

No loading chute. No multi-deck trailer. Just fat pigs walking down a lane.

Having our pigs and our processing plant close enough together to make this possible is a pretty unusual part of what we do at Gunthorp Farms. It isn't always this easy, as our farm is split by about a half mile of highway. For this group, however, the final trip is simply a walk down the lane.

Farm to processing.

We are looking forward to getting the grill out on Saturday at the 3rd annual BBQ & Brews in the Blooms - just down the road from us at our daughter & son-in-law's sunflower farm, Springfield Acres.

Join us for ribs, pulled pork, and Greg's special bacon baked beans. Plus beer from Hop River Brewing Company.

Free admission, free parking, free live music from Showdown. Tables & seating provided in the barn, but feel free to bring a lawn chair or picnic blanket too.

We can't wait to celebrate local food as part of the Northeast Indiana Local Food Network's Local Food Week!

Just piglets doing piglet things. šŸ· Would anyone be interested in a video of Greg showing us the newest litters of piglets that were born this week? We are experimenting with a new farrowing system this year & Iā€™m sure heā€™d love to explain it to you.

Mark your calendars - we have some fun opportunities coming up this summer!

Our daughter Kara & her husband Ed own Springfield Acres, a u-pick sunflower farm. Their farm is adjacent to the farrowing farm portion of our farm - on the south side of US 20.

We are going to be collaborating with Kara on a few projects this summer. The 1st will be a new event called Rooted in Community: A Flower & Farm Experience at Springfield Acres. Kara created an experience that covers the history of our family - how we ended up in this area, how we entered the meat business when the hog market crashed in 1998, and how Kara is taking the seed of "supporting local businesses" that she was taught as a kid and applying that to a new kind of farming. The event will also include flower picking, arranging, and (of course) a shared meal of Greg's roasted pork & baked beans. We will host it a few times this year, but the 1st will be on July 16th. You can buy your ticket on the Springfield Acres website.

The other event that we are excited to collaborate on is the annual BBQ & Brews in the Blooms 2026 event on August 1st. Kara might be a sunflower farmer now, but she couldn't stay away from local food. She created this event to coincide with the Northeast Indiana Local Food Network's Local Food Week. It's a celebration of local food, with live music, craft beer, and (of course) our roasted pork sandwiches & baked beans. Free admission, free parking. Bring your own lawn chair & hang out for awhile!

We cannot wait to share a meal with you this summer. See you soon.

We grind all our own feed at the farm.

We broke the gearbox on one of the feed grinders. We have four Farmhand 817 feed grinders.

This is kind of exciting. We are putting skids under our farrowing huts we will use during the grazing season.

We drift lamb on pasture. The ewes get a new piece of pasture each day. We donā€™t move the back fence until the mothers from a day or two have came back to the group.

This will be our first season for ā€œdrift farrowingā€. Weā€™ve always set stock farrowed. Now, these skiddable huts except the newborns will move forward weekly on pasture.
