Heritage Pigs & Pork

We took a break from pigs in 2018 to recoup our losses after our last drove rooted up an array of very expensive irrigation heads!  We love pigs and our clients love our pork. We hope to be able to bring in another breeding pair once we’ve figured out the best, fool-proof facilities. We’ll keep you posted.

Did you know pigs are highly intelligent and social animals? They are very curious, love to play, love to wallow in mud, root and graze, sleep and eat next to family members. Windflower Farm’s litters are a combination of the best heritage stock, bred for outdoor hardiness, foraging ability and for flavorful, tender meat.

Our feeder pigs grow up in family groups and have every opportunity to be their essential selves and enjoy their lives to the utmost. Along with regionally sourced whole grain, Certified GMO-free, Certified Organic-feed; our droves have free access to over an acre of organically-grown, swine-specific forage – a luscious mix of turnips, beets, mangles, alfalfa, peas, clover, rye, wheat and barley.

We slaughter on-farm meaning our pigs never leave their home and are spared the fear-factor of transport to a strange, crowded, harried slaughter-house. Stress causes raised levels of the hormone cortisol, which, aside from the obvious animal welfare aspect, negatively affects the texture and taste of the meat. You can be assured that your Windflower pig has been raised and slaughtered with love and respect and that you will be able to taste the difference. We encourage you to visit the farm, see the facilities and the animals and let us answer any questions you may have.
