Pork

Armin and Amanda currently manage a herd of Tamworth/Yorkshire/Berkshire crosses. “These traditional breeds are a good fit for our farm, are easy keepers, as well as have impressive and quick weight gain. They also do an amazing job helping clear the land of brush and weeds.”

The pigs at Beechcrest Farm have constant access to ranging and foraging areas and are frequently moved to fresh ground to prevent the build-up of potential disease and parasites. “Rotating animals on pasture ensures that different grasses, weeds and forage are kept in check and consumed. The land and animals benefit equally from this practice.
