About the Farm

Background

The farm is dedicated to raising Bourbon Red Turkeys and Large Black Hogs, focusing on breeding stock and providing for the community's dinner tables. Recently, they acquired a new group of Bourbon Red poults from a reputable breeder in Montana to enhance their breeding capabilities. The farm has also begun raising pigs and plans to establish their own breeding sows by 2021. Chickens, hounds, and a mountain horse named Ringo also inhabit the farm.

Practices

The farm emphasizes sustainability and heritage breed preservation. By sourcing high-quality breeding stock and aiming to breed their own animals, they reduce reliance on hatcheries and contribute to the genetic diversity of livestock. Their membership in the Livestock Conservancy underscores their commitment to maintaining and promoting these traditional breeds.

The Rest

The farm is in its growing stages, balancing expansion with budget constraints. They are active members of the Livestock Conservancy, dedicated to preserving heritage breeds.
