Patchwork Family Farms

Patchwork Family Farms, composed of 15 independent family hog farmers, has been supporting Missouri farm families since 1993. Historically, hog production in Missouri provided a healthy economic base for rural economies, but the industry has radically changed over the past 30 years, becoming dominated by large corporations. Despite this, Patchwork Family Farms continues to uphold the traditions of rural communities, ensuring that farmers receive a fair price for their product. Recognized by the USDA, EPA, and Oxfam America, they have made significant efforts to help the environment and sustain rural traditions.

Patchwork Family Farms believes in raising pork the old-fashioned way, adhering to sustainable and humane growing standards. Growth hormones and synthetic growth promoters are prohibited, and there is no continuous feeding of antibiotics. Animals receive adequate amounts of sunshine, fresh air, and quality feed necessary to maintain good health. The farm operates with social responsibility, environmental stewardship, and sustainable growing practices, ensuring that the animals are raised in a humane and natural environment.

Patchwork Family Farms ensures that the money from their products directly supports Missouri farm families. They emphasize the importance of local economies by buying inputs locally and supporting small businesses. Testimonials from various customers highlight the exceptional quality of their products and the positive impact on the community. The farm also offers a convenient way for consumers to purchase local meat, with friendly and flexible service.
