Organically and humanely raised pastured heritage breed pork for sale now!

Drum roll please!

We finally, after 3 long years of preparations, have our first official Little Sprouts Farm products for sale. The Red Wattle hogs are officially at market weight and ready for immediate sale.  We butchered one for our own use last Friday and it weighed in at 151 lbs hanging weight, which is about 200 to 220 lbs live weight.

Often when you browse the food in the grocery store you see different claims such as "organic", "Humanely raised", etc. We are proud to announce that we have not one, but many reasons why this will be the best tasting, healthiest pork you ever tried.

1. Heritage Breed -- Our hogs are untouched by genetic engineering, and unchanged by breeding. They are hogs just as nature created, never modified to increase profits to the breeder. What you get is real natural pork.

2. Humanely Raised -- Our hogs are raised as a large community, no confinement. They roam the pasture, choose their own sleeping and eating arrangements, play together in the sunshine, and act like.. well.. pigs.  We work very hard at providing to them the most natural yet safe environment possible, mimicking their life as it would be in the wild. We do not use commonly used medical intervention such as castrating or teeth trimming. Our pigs are physically the same as the day they were born. We strongly believe in a minimal intervention into their natural life.

3. Organic Feed -- The only hog feed we provide is certified organic hog feed, blended to our specifications.

4. Organically grown natural produce -- in season we collect and offer as much natural organically grown produce and leftovers as possible. This provides a variety in their diet of good wholesome fruits and vegetables, as well as green plants, to provide all the nutrients that cant be found inside the processed grain food.  To date we have collected thousands of pounds of pears, pumpkins, apples, vegetables, and various stalks from farming operations.

5. Natural Foraging --  In addition to organic feed and organically grown produce, we allow the pigs plenty of room (about 4 acres) to roam and forage for their natural food of roots, bugs, etc.  They happily dig and root int eh soil looking for that extra bit of nutrition only nature itself can provide.

6. Organically raised -- we do not use any antibiotics nor chemical treatments. When required only natural pest control (diatamaceous earth) and herbal parasite control (verm-x)  is used. No supplement shots are given at birth or later. These pigs are allowed to achieve their health naturally from their environment.

7. Farm Fresh -- when you purchase our uncured pork, it is fresh 100% meat, no water or chemical added during processing.  The cured cuts (bacon, ham, etc) are produce to your desires at out local butcher.  You can specify exactly how you prefer the cuts in shape, thickness, etc. From start to finish takes about 2 weeks for uncured, about 3-4 weeks for cured.
