At MacLachlan Meadows we raise pigs from "farrow to finish". Our sows are purebred Tamworths as well as our boar, Themistocles. We raise our pigs as naturally and as humanely as possible. We don't dock tails, clip wolf teeth or use farrowing crates. Our pigs have several acres to roam and forage as they please, therefore we sell our meat as "free range pork". They have shelters which they are free to go in and out of as they desire. Pigs don't mind snow, but they don't like really cold weather and will stay in their little houses snuggled in their straw "pig nests". We don't feed our pigs any commercial feed. We buy whole corn and barley from local farmers which we grind and mix ourselves, along with soy bean meal for protein and molasses for taste. Since our pigs are outside, they can get any minerals they need from eating dirt. We also give them vegetables from our garden and pumpkins from a local nursery.
We have both breeders and weaners available for purchase at different times throughout the year.
