Say hello to my favorite breed of hog! They are so sweet and incredibly loving. Our hog pens are are filled with these happy, hardy heritage hogs.

Meet the Gloucestershire Old Spots!

The Gloucestershire Old Spots is the oldest pedigreed spotted pig breed. Once known as the "orchard pig," it thrived on windfall apples, dairy by-products and cider pressings on small family farms. British folklore even claims its distinctive black spots were bruises from falling apples. Listed as Threatened on the Conservation Priority List.

Hey farmers market friends we will not be at the farmers market for a few weeks because we are sold out. Thank you for a great season. We’ll see you again in August and we’ll have fresh pork.

One reality of raising pigs is that pigs need mud. Turn the volume up and you’ll hear our pigs snoring as they enjoy a good mud bath to cool off.
