Pigs Will Forage
Our hogs are rotated in dairy-quality pasture and woodlands that have not been grazed for 12-18 months. They feast on oats, peas, corn, silage, pumpkins, clover, apples, hickory nuts, walnuts, acorns, turnips, veggie scraps and more. They are fed a blend of organic oats, soy, and silage to supply about twenty percent of their calorie needs and must forage for the remainder. The fact that they fatten this way speaks to the high quality of our pastures and diversity of their diet.
