We raise and sell only Registered Tamworth Pork and breeding stock. The Tamworth hog is considered a heritage breed and originates from Tamworth England.
The breed was once popular here in middle Tennessee but since it was considered a "bacon" type hog it became less popular when the focus shifted to the fatter "lard" type hogs.
The Tamworth is naturally lean, and a good forager. Some reports state the forage (grass, broadleaf weeds, roots and nuts) account for as much as 40% of their diet.
Since swine can not live totally on pasture, we do supplement with locally grown Organic corn. We also provide needed vitamins and minerals in their feed.
