About the Farm

Background

Elkhorn Farm & Forge specializes in raising heritage breeds of pigs, particularly the Gloucestershire Old Spot and Large Black breeds, which are known for their pleasant dispositions and exceptional taste. The farm has built a reputation for providing high-quality pork directly to local consumers in the Portland metro area.

Practices

Pigs are raised humanely outdoors, where they roam freely on pasture and in the forest, engaging in natural behaviors like rooting and running. The farm adheres to a philosophy that prioritizes the well-being of the pigs, avoiding the use of added hormones or sub-therapeutic antibiotics. The focus on old-fashioned, outdoor rearing methods ensures that the pigs live contented lives in their natural environment.

The Rest

Elkhorn Farm & Forge offers pork in whole, half, and quarter-shares, as well as smaller boxes of cuts for those with limited freezer space. They assist first-time buyers in navigating the purchasing process, making it easy to enjoy their gourmet-quality pork. More information and purchasing options are available on their website.
