Heritage Breeds

We raise heritage breed pigs, including Gloucestershire Old Spot, Tamworth, and Hampshire crosses. Our boar, a purebred Gloucestershire Old Spot named Marker, is a handsome and gentle guy. Marker and our sows produce between 80 and 100 pigs per year.

Safe, Healthful Feed

Our pigs are fed a locally grown and milled feed consisting primarily of corn, soybeans and molasses. They also receive lots of leftovers from our vegetable garden, milk and whey from a nearby organic goat dairy, organic hay from a farm in Au Sable Forks, barley from a Lake Placid brew pub and occasionally leftover fruit and bread from a bed and breakfast in Keene. Our animals are not given antibiotics or growth hormones. 

Allowing Pigs to be Pigs

We allow pigs to do what comes naturally. They can spend as much time outdoors as they wish, digging and rooting in our fields. They can lie in the sun or lounge in our barn. Just about the only time we close the doors on our barns is when the farmers are cleaning the inside and need some alone time or when we’re experiencing sustained below zero weather and keeping the cold out is best for the animals.

Staying Small

We're going to stay small because sustainability is a human value as much as it is an environmental value. We could double our production and still sell out, but we're committed to enjoying farming and doing all the chores that operating a humane farm requires. We're going to take it slow and not take on more than we can handle.
