While selling our grass-fed beef, pastured chickens and eggs at local markets we had many requests for pork. So we decided to look into some heritage breeds of hogs. We wanted to choose a breed that would not only offer tasty pork for our customers but we also were not willing to compromise on the standards at which we think our food should be raised. We chose the Large Black. We were impressed with there size, temperament, ability to raise young outside, and most of all, the ability they have to forage and thrive in our pastures. They are a true joy to be around. Mature boars weigh 700 - 800 lbs and sows 600 - 700 lbs as an adult.
Because of the increased interest in pasture raised pork by consumers, Large Black hogs are beginning to be recognized as a great choice in pastured management systems.
We are very proud of the fact that our chickens and turkeys are raised without any antibiotics or hormones. We hope that you will enjoy our pastured chickens and turkeys, raised naturally, just the way it's suppose to be.
