Converting a convetional farm to a natural farm is not an easy task.
But for sure, it's worth the effort.

Our initial livestock




Pot Belly Pigs bought from Animal Farm Store in Star City. Yes, they were sold with ribbons:) The sow has given birth to three female piglets! Watch out for the photos of the piglets. They are free to range under Mahogany Trees.

First set of Native Pigs from Bicol/Quezon border. They traveled a grueling 8 hour trip inside a passenger jeepney. 


We tried a 25kg live piglet for lechon. No fat at all and the meat is lean. 
Currently, we are adding new native pigs in our farm.

This is our initial stock of white pigs. Got them as piglets - around 1 to 2 months old. We then slowly transitioned them into eating natural based food with no antibiotics and growth hormones. These white pigs grew up to be runners. They seemed to enjoy the freedom of the range. Running, digging, wallowing, and chillaxing anywhere they want.
