Our pigs are bred and raised on our Essex County, Virginia farm in the woods and on pasture.

We feed them non-gmo open pollinated Indian corn grown in Middlesex County along the Rappahannock River located ten miles from our farm. We grind our grain daily and add minerals for a balanced diet.  Our hogs are also fed wheat, barley, oats and hay.  

The hogs are fed fresh fruit and vegetables that are in season such as our own home grown pesticide free tomatoes and apples, pears and pumpkins.

Berkshire Hogs

The Berkshire is the oldest recorded British hog. This hog was 'discovered' by Oliver Cromwell's invading army 350 years ago. Today's animals descend from the herd maintained for 300 years by England's royal family and is known for its succulent and marbleized meat.

The first boar was brought to the United States in 1841.  The Berkshire is a very pleasant hog to work with.

Baby Ossabaws

Ossabaw Island Hogs

Is Ossabaw lard the new olive oil?  Maybe so.  High in oleic acid (the one dominant in olives), Ossabaw fat is so unsaturated it is nearly liquid at room temperature. (Gourmet.com, Jean Anderson, October 2007)

The meat is marbleized and a rind covers the ham and shoulders.

Ossabaw History

Ossabaws are descendants of Iberico hogs introduced to the Americas by the Spaniards nearly 400 years ago.  They live on Ossabaw Island which is a barrier island off the coast of Savannah, Georgia.

Ossabaws have adapted to the brackish water and erratic food cycle on the island becoming smaller in size over the years.  They weigh between 100 to 250 pounds fully grown and have the ability to store unsaturated Omega 3 fats to sustain them through lean times.
