Greener Pastures Eco Farm

Greener Pastures Eco Farm uses no synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides. All animals have year-round access to the outdoors and are raised on pasture, with rotational grazing practiced so land can recover between grazing periods. The farm avoids beak trimming, tail docking, teeth clipping, and artificial insemination. Heritage breed livestock are chosen both to preserve genetics and to suit pasture-based systems. Heritage pigs, typically Berkshire and Tamworth crosses, are rotated through woodlot paddocks and fed a mix of organic grains (oats, spelt, field peas, and flax) milled on the farm, alongside whey from Gunn's Hill Artisan Cheese, brewers grain from Upper Thames Brewery, coffee chaff from Early Bird Coffee Roasters, and cacao husks from Habitual Chocolate. Pigs are raised for around 10 to 12 months, in keeping with the slower growth rate of heritage breeds.
