Half Hog-Our Pasture

Half Hog-Our Pasture

Are you looking to fill your freezer with naturally raised, chemical free, non-corn, non-soy pastured pork? Are you interested in spending your hard earned money with the small scale farmer? Are you tired of bland, tasteless, mass produced pork that's been shipped from another country?

                                                       We are your farm!

We raise Iowa Black Beauty hogs, which are a cross between the Heritage breed Meishan and Berkshire hogs. They produce a red meat, that is well known for its flavor and quality, as well as fat cap. Our feeders are raised on pasture, sunshine and freshly milled non-soy, non-corn feed to produce a quality meat that isn't full of chemicals and other ingredients that we personally don't want on our own table. 

 

When purchasing a whole or half hog from us you have several options available and we strive to work with you to make sure that not only are you able to support a family farm, but also able to do that in a way that is much easier on your budget and schedule. 

 

When purchasing from us we will help you pick a hog that will be ready when you are; wether that is in the immediate future or 8 months down the road. We don't want the pressure of paying for your animal to be a hinderence to your ability to feed your family quality and delicious pork. 

 

You can also rest assured that you know exactly where your pork was born, raised and processed without fear of questionable grocery store labels or countries of origin. You are able to ask questions, visit the farm, and know that the pork that hits your table was cared for and cared about with the highest integrity.
