Our farming practices differ from those of our large scale counterparts in almost every way. Cane Creek is a small, family owned farm, and practices sustainable agriculture, rotating crops and animals to keep the soil (incredibly) healthy and to keep the animals on fresh forage. Our pigs are never kept in confinement, and have free range to graze, root, and wallow. They always have access to fresh water, and are either hand-fed or have free access to grain-based food, supplemented with everything from garden clippings in the spring and summer to pumpkins and peanuts in the fall. Cane Creek’s sows (that’s momma pigs, to you non-farmers) give birth as they would in the wild, by making a nest, and for the most part, raise their piglets without human interference.
