Our Pigs
Forest Raised
Forest Food
We take pride in providing clean food, sourced from happy animals who are allowed to spend their lives living where and how they were created to be.
We raise our animals on almost 15 acres of hardwood forest on our farm; with many nut bearing trees. Including various types of oak, walnuts, hickory, beech, among others. Not to mention the natural under-story and roots available on the forest floor. We rotate the pigs through the wooded paddocks to ensure they have access to fresh forage.
We do not currently farrow on farm, instead we purchase grower pigs from another farm in Purcellville, VA. We bring the weaned pigs to our farm and raise them over the next 6-7 months until they reach a processing weight of 275-300 pounds. At that point, we will take them to a USDA inspected butcher for them to be processed.
To learn more about why forested pigs are superior to factory raised pigs, the following is an excellent article from the New York Times on the subject:
Forest Pork
Whole or half hog
We will contact you prior to taking the pigs to butcher. We are happy to help you fill out the cut sheet on how you would like your pork to be processed.
Forest Lard
Please contact us to learn more about our forest raised Lard. Availability is limited. We only offer pint size.
Eggs
Our chickens are allowed to roam free throughout our fields and forest. This allows our eggs to have the most delicious dark yellow yokes filled with nutirents.
