Jacob Springs Farm produces pork using a combination of traditional methods and farming innovations to produce both the highest quality pork and the highest possible welfare for the animals while maximizing the economic viability of the business to sustain their farm community. This is in stark contrast to the modern methods of swine rearing

Jacob Springs adheres to the principle

Pork Quality being a combination of breeding and feeding, Jacob Springs tries to maximize the quality of both while finding ways to make it profitable.

Breeding

Feeding

Swine being omnivores thrive on a diverse diet and cannot subsist on hay alone as the herbivores can. However they can derive much of their feed (and, in rare cases, all of their feed) from foraging if given adequate habitat.

Swine Habitat

Using swine labor

Sealing ponds and ditches

Plowing

Cleaning up crop residues

Clearing thickets

Composting
