Bio: Steve, Holly and Payton Cure have a small ten acre horse farm in lovely Longmont Colorado. Both farm raised ourselves we love to raise our own happy healthy food. He have chickens and fresh eggs, fiber and milk goats and now LBH's. Of course the main residents here are AQHA Reining Horses. Breeding training and showing reining horses is my main business. Our family loves to spend time with our animals and raise happy healthy critters:)
Bio: L&M Ranch is located in beautiful southern Colorado near the town of La Veta. We are a diversified farm with a focus on natural livestock husbandry and regenerative agricultural practices. We pasture and organically feed pork, beef and lamb and offer our exceptional meats for sale directly from our ranch, at farmers markets and online through our website. In addition to our two modern breeds of sheep Royal White and Texel, we raise 4 different heritage breeds, Large Black Hogs, Black Welsh Mountain and Shetland Sheep and Belted Galloway Cattle. We believe that by raising Heritage Breeds we are helping to ensure biodiversity in livestock genetics which is vitally important to the future of agriculture, and heritage breeds also are very well suited to small scale diversified farms.
Bio: We raise registered Large Black Hogs on free range pasture next to the Florida River in Southwestern Colorado. Our pigs are happy and healthy and live their best lives here on the ranch.
Bio: Our pastured pigs spend their days on fresh grass doing what pigs do best; rooting, digging, running and cooling themselves in their wallow. They dine on local, specially blended, grass mixture that includes clover, purple top turnips, oats and more . Foraging not only this high quality blend of grass, they consume acorns, walnuts and apples from our trees, free range chicken eggs and vegetables from our farm, and Jersey cow whey from a local dairy.

Bio: We are a small family farm in Indian River County, Florida. Our farm objective is produce the best heritage meat by matching our livestock breeds to our land. We currently have a Defender Boar and a Warbler Sow.
Bio: Mountain Crest Farm is a small family farm where Bob, Cindy, and Sarah try to live a self sufficient life. Part of that is raising our own meat, and we chose to raise Large Black Hogs as a part of that.
Our first pig raised to slaugnter went to the abattoir mid-February 2016, and our choice of the LBH breed was vindicated with the first mouthful of pork. After the first bite the reaction from the very non-demonstrative Cindy was, "Wow! This doesn't taste like pork...It tastes like a really good steak!"
We raise registered Large Blacks from our Daisy line sow Daisy, and our Super line boar Roscoe. We also raise Large Black/Berkshire hybrids from the same boar and our Berkshire gals Porkchop (originally destined for the abattoir, but we decided she was good enough to breed), Rose, and Violet.
Mountain Crest Farm feeds 100% GMO-free feed.

Bio: This family farm has been around for generations. Last year, May 2017 we added Large Black's to our operation. Daisy had her first litter of piglets July 31, 2018. We are very excited to be a part of Large Black family, working hard to keep the breed alive and well.
Bio: We are a small sustainable farm in northern New Hampshire. We currently have a LB boar and a gilt that we have recently bred and are hoping for a litter come spring 2019. We raise on large expansive pasture where we have diverse landscape for the pigs to enjoy.
Bio: We have raised these amazing animals for over 11 years. Both my husband and I come from farming backgrounds and have raised the commercial type pig before as well. A couple of the most important relationships you should have when raising any food animal is opening a line of communication with your veterinarian, butcher and breeder. When starting out, find a mentor, not necessarily one who raises heritage breed animals, but someone of whom you can ask questions, share ideas. Do not overlook your elderly family member or neighbor who was a hog farmer "back in the day", he probably raised his hogs closer to what we are striving for than the large CAFOs. Do not discount everything the CAFO has to say either. They have the financing to pay for research which can be helpful to us as well. You would be surprised by listening, truly listening to the CAFO farmers. You may notice some of their worries just do not exist with a pasture based system, then again, they do not have neighbors or random strangers stopping at your door to say your pigs are out.
We have 4 boars currently. Gilbert (MBR Majestic), Bismarck (Basel Defender:, Phillip (Purdue University Super-CA) and Ian (The Livestock Conservancy Malcolm). Our ladies is quite a list, Charlotte (Leaping Waters Charlotte who is 10 years old and just provided us with a litter of 7), Little Sister (Triangle K Charlotte), Sweet 16 (Triangle K Charlotte), Cecelia (Purdue University Charlotte), Wiilhemina (Dorothy's Warbler), Susie Q (Triangle K Warbler), Mad Maddie (H.M. Farm Matilda), Penelope (Bennett Prudence), 2 as yet to be named (The Livestock Conservancy Prudence x 2). I am considering another Matilda and a Daisy. We have been working with The Livestock Conservancy and Purdue University on a major frozen AI program that will have a huge impact on the Heritage breed world of swine.

Our pigs are pasture grazing on several types of naturally and planted grains, with natural forage and supplemental gestational cubes, greens, ground rice and oats and fodder seasonal to make sure all their nutrients are fulfilled. We do not give our animals hormones as we believe that even though it takes a little longer to feed out a Black Heritage, the benefits of the meat is phenomenal!! Whether your need is for feed or breed, please give me the chance to show you some of these beauties! If you are interested please feel free to send email to or or call 832-863-5128. We can make arrangements for delivery if needed.

Bio: Our family micro-farm is located in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains near beautiful Lake Chelan in central Washington. We raise purebred stock registered with both the Large Black Hog Association and the Red Wattle Hog Association. We believe organic, pastured production is the only way to go. We currently feed only certified organic peas/barley/wheat and alfalfa/grass hay as supplement to our spray free pastures, as we work toward our full organic certification.
Bio: Our farm goal is to produce healthy, sustainable, great tasting food the way nature intended. We provide organically pastured pork, turkeys, rabbits and chicken eggs. Find us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/cloverhillharvest
