Mmmmm, Bacon!

Here at Beef and Greens, we have been learning how to let pigs be pigs. We've learned what works, and what doesn't, and there is still much more to discover.

It will be the fourth year that our pigs are born right on our farm. We have started breeding high-performing commercial lines that will produce delicious, high-quality, nutritious meat!

All of our pork is naturally raised, allowed to forage and access grain (and occasionally human food scraps), and humanely handled in our small herd. We can give individual attention to each animal, making sure that all of their needs are met and that they have clean water, a dry place to rest, and plenty to eat. 

And they are also helping us turn a piece of over-worked land back into a fertile, productive space. When they dig, they root up the weeds, turn in fertilizer (their own), and break up soil that has been packed down for too long. We are looking forward to seeing what they can do as we expand, little by little.
