Concered about animal care and well-being? We are too. 

Animal Handling

​

At our farm, we take immense pride in the care and attention we provide to the animals we raise. Every team member working with our pigs undergoes a comprehensive training program early in their career. This program combines in-depth coursework with discussions and brainstorming sessions, fostering a culture of continuous improvement in animals care. This approach ensures that our animals are treated with the respect and compassion they deserve and feel secure in their interactions with humans. We firmly believe that providing exceptional care is the only way to responsibly raise animals.

Antibiotic Use

​

Antibiotic use on our farm is not routine but carefully targeted when pigs are sick or exposed to illness. Our primary defense against disease is strict biosecurity and sanitation practices, and antibiotics are used only when necessary. Since medication incurs additional costs, we naturally strive to use as little as possible while prioritizing the well-being of our animals when treatment is required.

​

We work closely with veterinarians to select the most appropriate antibiotics, ensuring that only FDA-approved medications are used. Additionally, our farm, along with the broader pork industry, adheres to the Pork Quality Assurance (PQA) Plus program. This program trains our staff in proper handling and withdrawal times for antibiotics, as outlined by the FDA. Responsible antibiotic use is not only essential for maintaining the health and welfare of our animals but also critical for ensuring food safety for the families who trust our products.

​

We are committed to producing meat that is free of antibiotics, added hormones, and anything else that could compromise safety or quality. Treating our animals with care, compassion, and responsibility aligns with our values and ensures that we deliver food you can trust.
