Welcome to Grassy Hill Farm
We are a women-owned and operated small business proud to produce locally grown Berkshire pork in Connecticut.
About Us
Not all pork is created equal.
We started this venture because we are passionate about high-quality food, raised on a farm with care. We believe supporting local farmers is critical for our health, economy, and way of life. And the food tastes so much better! We chose to raise 100% Berkshire pigs because this rare British breed is considered by top chefs around the globe as the Gold Standard of pork. Our pasture raised heritage pigs, whose breed was first discovered over 300 years ago in the Berkshire County of Britain, are descended from a Legendary line so you know they have been bred to produce meat that has the perfect balance of fat and tenderness. If you love the taste of high-quality pork and care about how the animal was raised and fed, then you’ve come to the right place.
Pigs for Purchase
If you are looking to acquire breeding or feeding stock, we want to hear from you! We expect to have litters several times a year and can reserve the gilt or boar of your choice. Our piglets show excellent body style and size, consistent with Berkshire composition requirements.
Our Berkshire pigs are hearty and capable of handling cold weather, have gentle temperaments, excellent meat quality and are well socialized so they are very comfortable around humans. Our pigs enjoy running around their pasture, always have access to shelter, love wallowing in puddles and drinking fresh clean water. These aren’t your average pigs!
Contact us if you are interested in purchasing a weanling – you won’t regret it.
Pork for Purchase
Our 100% certified Berkshire pork, sometimes known as Kurobuta pork, comes from pigs raised with care. All of our pigs are pasture fed and supplemented with feed. We farrow without using crates, the Sow’s are given multiple opportunities to go outside between feedings, making for happy mothers and piglets. All our pigs have been handled from an early age, so they are really friendly and even enjoy belly rubs!
The most important decision in buying pork is to consider whether they had a happy life, free from confinement and sustainably raised, protecting the environment. If you are looking to purchase premium Berkshire pork, please contact us. We guarantee that our pork has no growth hormones, no artificial ingredients, no steroids, no nitrates, and has been humanely treated. As a small producer, we have limited supply and appreciate requests in advance so that we can accommodate the amounts and cuts you desire.
