In addition to the vegetables and fruits we grow, we raise a variety of livestock on the farm. Keeping livestock allows us to offer a diverse offering to our community, and has the added benefit of providing fertility, upkeep, and general enjoyment to our land and our lives.

Pigs

Our pigs are raised on a mix of pasture and forest. Pigs thrive in a wooded environment, where they are able to find cooler temperatures and wallow, forage on acorns and shrubs, and just be their piggy selves. We feed them NON-GMO grain from Morrison's in VT, dairy from our cow and goats, and a rotating smorgasbord of fruits & vegetables from our farm. Needless to say, they have it pretty darn well! Our pork is available at our farm store, and at the Bridgton Farmers’ Market.

Please note: We will not have any Whole or Half Pigs available for 2026.

PASTURED POULTRY

Eggs

We keep about 150 laying hens each season. They are fenced into a pasture space that is rotated around our fields multiple times per week, and they are locked up at night in a mobile coop. We supplement their pasture with a NON-GMO grain ration, calcium, and grit. The result is some pretty tasty eggs from some very happy hens.

Chicken

We raise Cornish Cross birds on a NON-GMO grain ration. For the first two weeks of their life, they live in a brooder while they feather out and size up a little. We then raise them for the remainder of the time on pasture inside mobile coops that are moved daily onto fresh grass, keeping them clean and happy and giving them access to bugs and pasture plants to supplement their grain ration.
