First Nature Farms: Pigs

Organically Raised Pork


Pigs                

About our pork: is it different?

First Nature Farms specializes in "quality of life" and believes all animals deserve to be treated with kindness and respect.

Unlike most commercial hogs, our animals are hand raised so that each one receives the care and attention it deserves.

"Quality of life?" What does it mean to a pig?

  • freedom to move - walk, run, play, sunbathe, stretch out, root up or wallow in the mud.
  • freedom to explore and nibble the abundance of greens and roots from our organic pastures.
  • freedom to live a life of peace with the silence that nature provides.
  • freedom to birth naturally, allowing mothering instincts to be expressed.
  • good nutrition from certified organic grains, peas and flax.
Pigs are clean, intelligent and social animals and deserve quality of life!

Are the pigs organic?

Pigs

YES! First Nature Farms has produced certified organic pigs since 1990. This means:
  • only certified organic grains are used in the feed: barley, wheat, oats plus organic peas and flax. All feed must be grown without herbicides, insecticides, artificial fertilizers, etc. in a sustainable manner.
  • Feed that is plant based and contains no animal by-products.
  • Good food, clean water, fresh air, and freedom, our free ranging pigs are naturally healthy and content.
  • No antibiotics, medications, parasitides, tail docking, teeth clipping etc.
  • No crowding, automation, whips or electric prods.
  • Low stress environment with plenty of interaction from our family providing food, attention and the occasional belly rub.
 


Partners in Pigs

Our friends at the Wildwood Farm, Tim and Linda Ewert also raise certified organic pigs. Their operation is unique since most of their farm work is done with a team of horses, from planting the grain to grinding the feed! Not being hooked to the electrical grid, they rely on photosynthesis and solar panels for their energy needs. When demand exceeds our supply, we are always pleased to turn folks onto Wildwood Farm!
