How We Raise Our Hogs
Our hogs are raised in natural woodlands from the time that they are 8 weeks old until they go to slaughter. This has many benefits for both the producer, the consumer & most importantly, the animal. Our hogs are a vital piece of our farm and our pasture & forest management practices.
Hogs are omnivores, which means that to reach their full potential, they need more than just grain. By allowing our pigs to free range over an acre at a time of forest, they are able to scavenge for legumes, grubs, grasses, berries & all of the other yummy treats that they can find in the natural forestland environment. This saves on feed costs, utilizes space on the farm that is not able to be row cropped & creates a flavor profile that you truly can't understand until you try it for yourself.
Our Farming Practices
You started asking questions about your food for a reason: where it came from, how the animals were raised, what they were fed, and whether the label can be trusted. We built this farm so that when you shop with us, every one of those questions has an answer you can trust.
At Hidden Creek, every animal is raised on our own pasture in Salem County, NJ. Our animals rotationally graze each acre of the farm, which keeps the pasture healthy, the soil improving, and the animals eating fresh ground on a regular cycle - the way they were built to. We don't source from other farms, and we don't have a supply chain long enough to lose track of anything. When you ask us how your food was raised, we can tell you, because we were there for every step of it.
