About this Event

All About Backyard Pigs: Workshop + Farm Experience


Join us at the farm for a fun and hands-on workshop all about backyard pigs! Whether you're thinking about adding pigs to your homestead or just curious, this event is perfect for you. Learn the essentials, meet some adorable pigs up close, and experience life on the farm. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to get your hands a little muddy and your questions answered by pig lovers!

Our family has been raising pigs since 2011 and started with a pen our backyard in the city on just 2/3 of an acre. In 2021 we decided to move to a bigger homestead and never imagined we'd live on a 140+ acre farm and raise beef, pork, lamb, chicken, duck, turkey, and eggs to sell plus sell American Mulefoot Hog piglets. Here at True Cut Ranch our pigs are raised on pasture with electric wire. We breed and farrow here at the farm.
Event includes:

  • All you need to know about raising backyard pigs
  • Chance to meet and feed different groups of pigs

This new workshop is extended so we can cover:

  • Breed selection
  • Fencing
  • Pasture / forest management with pigs
  • Feed and water
  • Farrowing and breeding
  • Getting pigs on a trailer
  • Working with a processor, cut sheets, and storing your meat at home
