Chris is an example of our immense creativity when it comes to naming pigs. She comes from the “Chris” sow line. TaDa! Don't let her lack of a good name fool you though. She is a great girl and has proven herself a great mother with her first litter of 9 in the spring of 2024 and 11 in early 2025. She is currently expecting her third litter… there’s a catch. The gate didn’t get latched and she found her way to the boar pen… so we think we know who the daddy is, but we aren’t sure. So your new sweet sow comes with a belly full of bonus feeders! This lovely girl is available if the right home came along. Contact the farm with questions or start the process of adding her to your homestead.

Charlotte was the girl that started it all. She was our “test” in the IPP world to see if we wanted to make the switch from AGH to IPP. Within a month of owning her we had committed to transform our entire farm over AND expand our pastured pig program to accomodate a larger number. Charlotte fits the breed standard to perfection from size to temperament to mothering abilities. Her babies have proven to take on her traits with sweet breeding stock and beefy babes.

Our very first IPP boar. Wilbur was the original pairing for Charlotte and we purchased them on the same roadtrip from two separate farms. This boy is as sweet and funny as they come. A wonderful father both in fertility and in his gentle nature when allowed to hang out with the family. He’s just wonderful and can even be in the pen with both of the other boars without trouble. (New pics coming soon as he has matured drastically since this photo was taken.)

I’ve admired this boy through Social Media for some time and had even planned to purchase one of his offspring in the next season….. But then his previous owner decided they needed to downsize and I was ecstatic to have the opportunity to bring the well known boar, Sundrop, home to Porky Pastures. He has bred both Chris & Marigold for our most exciting breeding season ever. You’re going to want to stay tuned for this!

These girls rule the roost! They are sweet and wonderful yet massively protective of their home, their family, and their charges. They take their jobs seriously and we count on them for the security and protection that is needed for a rural location with lots of predators. The farm just wouldn’t be the same without these spunky pups.

Oh this girl has our hearts. Speckles came to us on accident lol. She was a bottle baby that sort of came with another cow that we purchased. Little did we know that this funny girl would steal our hearts unlike any other cow and would become our primary milk cow. She just birthed her first baby over the summer. We named her Rain because there was a large rainbow over her as she was being born. Speckles is a purebred Holstein and her baby is ½ Dutch Belt.

My favorite milk cow. BUT - if you’d have told me I’d say that a year ago, I wouldn’t have believed you. We purchased her in 2023 and we had rough start. She hated me. Plain and simple haha. She was willing to do pretty much anything to never, ever be my milk cow. I’m not even really sure how or why things changed but I gave her another try after we moved and it was like a she turned into a different cow. She pleasantly walked into the stanchion, munched on a snack and let me milk her…. She’s been like that every since. My favorite, most enjoyable dairy cow…

A fun and easy way to keep the lamb freezer stocked - katahdin hair sheep are hardy and easy to maintain. They play well with others and fill our fields with beautiful little babies every spring.

We raised small batch of turkeys each year for the holidays. This year we are retaining a few of the nicest birds to see if we can reproduce them here on the farm. Stay tuned to see how this experiment goes. I’ve heard mixed reviews on their parenting abilities.

Our fields are full of fun friends. We’ll be adding new bios periodically. Check back to learn more about “Our Team”!
