Our Tamworth Pigs

Our heritage breed Tamworth pigs forage on newly cleared land, pasture, and crop fields. They are moved to a fresh pasture every week throughout the grazing season.

When they’re moved out of a paddock, we often seed that field with a grazing crop such as turnips, oats, and winter rye. When they are pasturing on a crop field we plant winter wheat in the fall that will be harvested the next summer. This rotation improves the fertility of the land and greatly increases the flavor and quality of the pork.

In addition to grazing, the pigs get a soy-free diet of organic grains and skim milk. When the pigs aren’t grazing during the winter months, we give them hay to root around in. It’s important for all animals to be able to express their natural behaviors.

Misty Brook Farm is committed to the health and wellbeing of our pigs, as well as to the high quality and flavor of our pork.

Our soy-free, organic pastured pork is available frozen. Pork products include chops, roasts, loin, hocks, ribs, tenderloin, ham roast, ham steak, bacon, ground, organs, bones, and fat & lard.
