Hogs raised on pasture eat a more diverse diet than those raised in confinement. Pasture raised hogs are exceptional at soil aeration, pasture maintenance, and shrub clearing, making them an important part of the regenerative farm system. With thoughtful movement of herds over pasture, hogs are used strategically to prevent soil erosion while preparing land for cover cropping. Raised on pasture, with room to root and forage, these animals work as the farm’s natural tractor plows, increasing biodiversity as they turn over soil. *
