Pasture Day!

The boys have learned their hotwire so now they are able to start their journey on pasture! Rooting around, tearing up the land, and to enjoy their space to roam!

Their paddocks have constant supply of water, organic feed, shelter, and shade! Plus plenty of posts for them to scratch against ☺️

Letting pigs be pigs! While they adjust to their new surroundings, it’s only a matter of time before they are out on pasture!

In the meantime, they will be getting all the belly scratches til they fall asleep.

The day is here! The Tams (and a special new guest) are joining the farm! Festus Farms pork coming to a table near you!

We all know Tamworth pork (aka the baconators) are known for their nutty yet sweet cuts rich in flavor, but why stop there?

We are excited to share we are raising Mulefoot pork this year! Mulefoots are one of the rarest breeds in America! So what makes them so special? They are a heritage breed that thrive on pasture, even more so with rotational grazing. The outcome is nothing short of spectacular. Lean pork with their meat red as steak! Known for their superior cuts, chefs will go out of their way to source Mulefoot pork that will melt in your mouth. The coolest part though? They are the only pig breed that has uncloven feet, much like our buddy Festus! Hence the name 😉

P.S. you’ll notice the boys are in the cab of the truck on their long journey back home (these guys are all the way from Kentucky) we like to transport our hogs in a climate controlled environment to reduce stress and make their transition as smooth as possible!

Reach out if you’d like to have Festus Farms pork on your supper table, and as always, pasture raised is raised right!

On our farm you can find one of our mini donkeys, Festus, mingling and keeping the hens company as they roam
freely. At Festus Farms we are blessed enough to raise and care for pasture hens.
The girls spend all day outside scratching in the sunshine and have free range to go where they please.
Their free range life on lush green grass, our hens eggs provide deep nutritional value, keep an
eye out for that rich golden yolk!
Thriving the way they are meant too, the hens are a part of the Festus Farms family.
To check in on the girls join us on our instagram page and share your eggs.
