COVID 19 Safety Statement
Due to the spread of the novel corona-virus we will continue only accepting orders through our website to be picked up at scheduled pickup times and locations. All orders will continue to be prepackaged as they are received in order to minimize handling. All payments will be processed through our website or individual invoice. Orders will be transported in coolers that are sterilized prior to loading as well as before returning to the farm to ensure the bio-security levels we need to be able to continue to make healthy, pasture raised meat available to you.

Rotationally grazed in paddocks. Supplemented with locally sourced, complete nutrient feed to ensure healthy growth. You can see the progress of paddocks that have been grazed and are now recovering in the aerial shot below from several summers ago.

Just before pigs are set to rotate out of a paddock we broadcast a diverse set of cover crops each with different goals. Some of what is planted is specifically for forage, others are aimed at continually improving our soil while some others are aimed at luring beneficial organism like bees! You can see in the picture above the many species that are planted and ultimately create a thriving system together.

Free-farrow – unassisted, no cages or farrowing crates (farrowing is when a mother pig has babies!). Sows will build incredibly crafted nests out in the open in the summer and in open shelters in their pastures during the winter months. We let their instincts thrive!

Piglets remain on sows for 6-8 weeks as opposed to 14-21 days  when most piglets are weaned in larger commercial operations. Typically, Momma pig is sick of the large number (our average litter is 9-12 piglets!) of needy young ones by this time and the piglets have naturally transitioned away from needing milk from the sow. Weaned piglets are put into weaning pens where we teach them about the electric fence. Once trained (about a week or two) they can be contained in their larger paddocks with a single strand of hot wire!

In the winter the pigs are fed hay (yes pigs eat hay too!) in order to replace the dormant pasture of Western South Dakota in their diet.
