HERITAGE PORK

Old Spot Pork - sooooooo good!

Sequatchie Cove Farm is back to raising Heritage Breed pigs! Right now we have Gloucestershire Old Spots, Mulefoot, Large Black and Red Wattles. We keep our pig production on a small scale, around 10 per year because we have found from experience that raising larger groups of pigs on pasture and in the woods can actually be hard on the land. Our farm is limited to 90 acres of pasture and most of that is dedicated to our cows, sheep and chickens so we just raise small batches of pigs mostly because we love to have them around and we love having access to and proving our customers with high quality pork! Fresh air, sunshine, rain, and foraging outdoors in the woods under open skies is the life we want our pigs to lead.

Because we produce so many eggs, we always have seconds that we cannot sell because of cracks and other defects, these seconds are a daily delicacy for the pigs! During the fall, they have acorns, hickory and walnuts, and their favorite treat - persimmons. We supplement their diet with a 100% certified Organic feed that does contain corn and soy. Like our chickens, cows, and sheep, and even our fruit and vegetables, the pigs are tended by hand and raised with respect. It is the only way we will have it at Sequatchie Cove Farm and we know you want it that way also.
