Late last summer, we added certified organic whey from Cowgirl Creamery in Petaluma to our hogs' diet. It's another excellent source of protein for the hogs and they love it. The dry feed is a ground mixture of our barley, triticale, and field peas as well as certified organic feed from Modesto Milling.
Concrete troughs and grain bin are staged in the open feeding area which is adjacent to the pasture. Our hogs have access to the organic grain and whey at all times of the day and can come and go from their feeding area to the pasture as they please.
Riverdog Farm's hogs are CCOF certified organically raised animals. Meat is processed in a non-organic facilities, therefore the pork is not certified organic. Riverdog Farm's pastured pork is available at our stand at the Saturday Berkeley Farmers' Market. Our pork is also available for order by the pork share, which is a bulk case of chops, shoulder steaks, shoulder roast, ground pork, and sausages. Pork shares are $8 per pound and range between 15 and 20 pounds. To request a list of available shares and to place an order, email csa@riverdogfarm.com.
