Meet us

Hey there, I’m Naomi Johnson, the farm lady behind these wonderful pigs!

My story starts in 2013 with a little pig named Fern. She came to live with us after a friend, who had Berkshire pigs, had her as an orphan and didn’t have time to take care of her. She asked if I wanted to take her and I did!  (I have a weakness for baby farm animals…)  She lived in a cat carrier and I fed her lamb milk replacer out of a bottle.

She was quite the little pig!  She followed us around the yard and we even took her to visit some nursing home friends and also to pick apples at a friend’s house. 

And she always loved a good scratch. 

I fell in love with pigs.  As a matter of fact, when the friend had some feeder size pigs she was looking to sell, I bought 5 more!  

We also had 2 more children born in the 3 years after this, so I didn’t have the time to get more pigs.  We were also growing our sheep herd and learning about management intensive grazing on our 20 acres, so life took that direction.

But I always wanted to keep pigs again.

Finally, in November 2019, the time had come.  I brought 12 pigs to come and live in our barn again. 

Since then, we’ve tried several different breeds.

Mangalitsa, Red Wattle, Duroc and Berkshire.

Nothing has matched the flavor of a 100% purebred Berkshire, so now we’re proud Berkshire growers, eager to bring this fabulous flavor to your table.

Are you ready to try some too?
