The BGFF Difference
BGFF is a family-owned-and-operated, farrow-to-finish Berkshire pig farm located in Akron, CO. By being pasture centered, our Berks enjoy the fresh outdoors 365 days a year and socialize with their peers as nature intended. They constantly wander around their multiple-acre paddocks, where they have access year-round to a creek, shade from trees, and Port-A-Hut shelters if they so desire.
Every six months, we rotate our Berks to different paddocks throughout our 160 acres of pasture and cropland, where they get a variety of grasses, wheat, barley, rye, clover, and chicory that we plant. We supplement their pasture diet daily with a few pounds of wheat and roasted soybean-based feed that a swine nutritionist has specially formulated. This ration helps enhance the overall flavor of the meat.
We pride ourselves on being 100% drug-free, which means we never use antibiotics, hormones, steroids, or any kind of drugs. All of our pigs are raised in a stress-free, healthy environment.
Meet Our Mommas
BGFF currently runs over 70 sows that are treated with the utmost respect. We have a farrowing barn where we bring our mommas about one week before farrowing. Unlike most operations, we prohibit gestation stalls, farrowing crates, and tethering.
Our mommas and their babies are free to dig and roam indoors or outdoors as they please at all times. By doing this, we raise and maintain happy, healthy, stress-free animals in their natural habitat.
