The farm contracts with a breeder in Creswell. We buy piglets in the spring and raise them up on the farm until the fall when they are harvested. They are heritage breeds, typically a Berkshire cross.

1. Picking up the piglets from the breeder.

2. Baby pigs

3. The “Pig Ship” – a mobile trailer for shelter and feeder.

4. Filling the feeder barrels with feed that descends through a PVC pipe down to the trough that the pigs eat out of. – SIDE NOTE FROM 2022, this worked well with pellet feed but when we switched to loose locally milled feed it would get clogged and we have since gotten a different feeder.

5. Feed comes out using gravity.

6. Pigs getting used to their new home
