Two pigs in a natural setting with trees and ground cover

4-H Pig Project Journal

Forest Grown Pork

Our pigs are raised in our forest, where they have plenty of shade, space to root and forage, and a low-stress lifestyle. Their diet includes nuts, roots, and woodland forage, a balanced non-GMO feed grown and made by Sickler's Circle View Farm. This 4-H project has been a labor of love for our kids, who cared for the pigs daily with dedication and pride.

Raising Our Pigs

Follow along as our children document their pig projects throughout the season. From the day our pigs arrive to fair week, they’ll share updates about caring for them, what they’re learning along the way, and what it’s like to raise market pigs from start to finish.
