About the Farm
Background
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.
Practices

The farm operates with social responsibility, environmental stewardship, and sustainable growing practices, ensuring that the animals are raised in a humane and natural environment.
