More About Us and the Animals

I am Dakota Adamson, a fourth-generation steward of this land. In the years before my time, the property was mostly a horse farm with a few riding horses and a hay field. I have only one memory of that era before the hay field was leased out for row crops. If not for me, this land would likely have been destined to become a forgotten ruin like so many small farms across the Midwest. I am revitalizing the land by using hogs to awaken neglected and forgotten soils, bringing forth an explosion of life. Our animals move regularly to control their impact on the land and keep them healthy. We farm with the environment, not against it.

​

We breed and raise Berkshire pigs because the breed is a traditional breed that is hardy, has good mothers, and have exemptional meat quality. Berkshires, being a traditional breed, are important to us because, unlike more modern breeds, they still retain marbled meat. Fat isn't bad, especially in pigs: our pork is very marbled with a light red or pink color of meat. Our pork more resembles beef than the gray or white unnatural look of modern pork.

​

We don't feed our animals just any feed: our hogs are primarily fed a locally sourced and milled feed from Horn Feed in Mukwonago. It is unlike the factory-produced pellets, where you can't tell what's in the feed, as opposed to the feed we get, where you can see the grains and can tell what's in it. But we don't stop at supporting other local businesses at the feed. When the hogs are finished out, we take them to Hometown Sausage Kitchen in East Troy for processing. As a result, we offer you a locally raised delectable cut of pork.

​

We aren't stopping at pork, though. As we grow, we aim to offer more options, including chicken, sheep, and cow products. Your support and trust will help us provide you with more healthy and delectable foods.
