About the Farm
Background
Located in the Ozark hills of Southwest Missouri, Beeman Hollow Farm is a family-run operation dedicated to preserving heritage breeds of livestock. Known for their Gloucestershire Old Spot pigs, the farm gained significant attention when a Facebook post about their sow Abigail was shared by Mother Earth News, leading to a surge in followers from around the globe. The farm has exhibited their pigs at various fairs, including the Mother Earth News Fair, where they have connected with a diverse audience.
Practices
Beeman Hollow Farm raises Gloucestershire Old Spot pigs naturally and humanely on pasture. The pigs are allowed to roam freely, bask in the sunshine, and engage in natural behaviors such as running, playing, eating, and sleeping. This approach not only ensures the well-being of the animals but also maintains the integrity of the land.
The Rest
The farm's participation in events like the Mother Earth News Fair highlights their commitment to education and community engagement. They have built a network of followers from various countries, including agriculture students and enthusiasts, further spreading awareness about heritage breeds and sustainable farming practices.
