If you're looking for a pig breed that's perfect for small homesteads, look no further than the Idaho Pasture Pig. These pigs are a relatively new breed, having been developed in the early 2000s by blending several heritage breeds, including the Duroc, Old Berkshire, and Kunekune.

One of the primary reasons why Idaho Pasture Pigs are such a popular choice for small homesteads is that they are small themselves, typically weighing in at around 400 pounds at maturity. This makes them easier to handle and less likely to damage fences and other structures on your property.

But that's not all that sets the Idaho Pasture Pig apart. These pigs are also known for their docile, friendly personalities, which make them a joy to work with. They're also incredibly hardy and can thrive in a wide range of climates, from hot and dry to cold and snowy.

Another big advantage of Idaho Pasture Pigs is that they're fantastic foragers. They love nothing more than rooting around in the soil and munching on grass and other vegetation. This means that you can raise them on pasture, reducing your feed costs and giving them a more natural diet.

But perhaps the biggest reason why Idaho Pasture Pigs are such a great choice for homesteaders is the quality of their meat. These pigs produce tender, flavorful meat that's well marbled and absolutely delicious. Whether you're looking to fill your freezer with pork chops, bacon, and sausage, or you're interested in selling your meat to local customers, Idaho Pasture Pigs are an excellent choice.

At our farm, we're proud to raise Idaho Pasture Pigs and offer their meat in our farm store. We believe that these pigs are the ultimate homestead pig and are thrilled to share their many benefits with our customers. If you're considering adding pigs to your homestead, we highly recommend giving Idaho Pasture Pigs a try!

At our farm, we're passionate about raising chickens the natural way, allowing them to roam free and forage for their food. We believe that this is the best way to produce healthy, flavorful eggs that are packed with nutrition.

Our chickens are free-range, meaning that they have access to plenty of outdoor space to explore and scratch around in. They spend their days pecking at insects, worms, and grasses, which not only provides them with a varied diet but also helps to keep our pastures healthy and vibrant.

In addition to their foraged diet, our chickens are also supplemented with a high-quality, non-GMO feed that's specially formulated to meet their nutritional needs. This ensures that they're getting all the vitamins and minerals they need to lay healthy, nutritious eggs.

The result of all this attention to detail is some of the best-tasting eggs you'll ever eat. Our free-range, pasture-raised chickens produce eggs that are rich in flavor, with a deep, golden yolk and a firm, silky white. They're also incredibly nutritious, with higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, and other important nutrients than conventionally raised eggs.

But it's not just about taste and nutrition - we also believe in raising our chickens in a way that's humane and sustainable. Our birds are treated with care and respect, and we believe that this shines through in the quality of the eggs they produce.

So if you're looking for eggs that are not only delicious but also good for you and good for the planet, look no further than our farm. Our free-range, pasture-raised chickens are the key to some of the best eggs you'll ever taste, and we're proud to offer them in our farm store. Come see us and taste the difference for yourself!

At our farm, we're proud to raise Katahdin sheep - a breed that's perfectly suited to our sustainable farming practices. These sheep are known for their hardiness, versatility, and delicious meat, making them a popular choice for small-scale farmers and homesteaders.

One of the primary reasons why we chose Katahdin sheep is their ability to thrive on a grass-based diet. These sheep are excellent grazers, able to efficiently convert grass and other vegetation into high-quality meat. This makes them a great choice for pasture-based farming systems, where the sheep can be rotated through different paddocks to help maintain and restore the health of the land.

But that's not all that sets Katahdin sheep apart. They're also incredibly low-maintenance, with a natural resistance to many common sheep diseases. This means that we can focus on providing them with a natural, stress-free environment and let them do what they do best - graze and grow.

When it comes to meat quality, Katahdin sheep are hard to beat. Their meat is lean, tender, and full of flavor, with a mild flavor that's versatile and delicious. Whether you're roasting a leg of lamb for a special occasion or cooking up some juicy lamb chops for dinner, Katahdin sheep meat is a true delight.

But perhaps the biggest advantage of raising Katahdin sheep is their ability to help restore and maintain the health of our pastures. By grazing and foraging, these sheep help to naturally fertilize the soil, control weeds, and improve soil structure. This means that we can produce high-quality meat while also improving the health of the land - a win-win situation for both us and the environment.

If you're interested in trying some delicious Katahdin sheep meat or learning more about how we raise our sheep, we invite you to visit our farm store. We're passionate about sustainable farming and believe that Katahdin sheep are the perfect choice for meat and pasture restoration.
