Pictures, info & so much more on the Cornish Heritage Hogs! Here at CHF we LOVE pigs for their intelligence, breeding capabilities & their meat. All the pigs here on the farm are treated humanely & raised on pasture 365 days a year producing a friendly hog. You can purchase breeders, feeders or meat from us.
There are five pictures in this post. First the ice crystals came from the sky and then it snowed all night so we awoke this morning to white! This is the first real snow of the season so can’t complain. The picture above is of Duke on the road outside […]
Our friend Marcus came home from the hospital yesterday but has still not fully regained his strength. Our friends and us continue to feed the animals. Olivia was one of our favorite pigs when she lived here on the farm. We brought her with us when we moved from Montana […]
Haven’t done much more with the photos as been busy cutting up the pork. Richard was at work on Saturday so I cut up Mr. Piggy-Wig by myself along with making 18lbs of sausage. Took most of the day but I got it done. We were out of plain salt […]
LOL! All those Tom turkeys do all day is gobble and strut their stuff. In between them all was a chicken resting in the shade:) Good job Richard and I are not like the Toms else nothing would get done around here! We had an enjoyable couple days away and […]

It is not very often that Richard & I get to see our “piglet babies” grown up in the real as most of the stock we sold was many many miles away. Of course alot of our customers send us photos and we often get phone calls when the girls […]
To say that God’s hand of protection was on us during this latest long drive is an understatement. We ended up leaving home at 3pm yesterday afternoon after eating a Roast Turkey Christmas lunch. With the bad weather coming in we decided there was no point relaxing for the afternoon, […]
As the pigs move out of here it feels very weird to have a smaller number of “herds” here, meaning less buckets to fill with feed each morning. Richard took a trip to the airport yesterday & then headed up through Kansas City delivering piglets & from there mature pigs […]
A busy day here on the farm but at least we were not the ones on the road. Milked the cows first thing & then it was time to cook breakfast. Cooked up 4lbs of bacon, 4lbs of sausage, eggs, beans, hash browns & fresh bread rolls (bread baked last […]
If you have been wondering why I have been a little quiet this last couple weeks, it’s because Richard & I have been doing a lot of talking, thinking & planning. Never would we have thought a couple weeks ago how life was going to change. Let me share with […]
