Embracing Ethical Pig Farming: A Journey Towards Sustainable Agriculture
StarWalker Organic Farms: Our Commitment to Ethical Pig Care
At StarWalker Organic Farms, we are dedicated to raising our pigs in a way that honors their natural behaviors and needs, while also ensuring the highest standards of organic and humane care. Our approach to regenerative pig farming is deeply rooted in our commitment to sustainability, animal welfare, and producing the highest quality organic pork.
Our Organic and Humane Practices
• Certified Organic: We are proudly certified by CCOF (California Certified Organic Farmers), ensuring that all our pigs are raised on organic feed and in an environment that meets strict organic standards.
• Nutritionally Balanced Diet: Our pigs are fed a diet formulated by expert nutritionists, ensuring they receive the optimal balance of proteins and minerals. At the beginning of 2024, we made a significant shift to a corn and soy-free diet, further enhancing the quality of our pork.
• Outdoor Living: All our pigs live outdoors for their entire lives. They have access to pastures or dry lots, allowing them to engage in natural behaviors like rooting and foraging.
• Farrow to Finish Operation: We manage the entire lifecycle of our pigs on our organic farmland. From birth to maturity, they are cared for under our watchful eye, ensuring consistent and high-quality care throughout their lives.
• Non-GMO and Prop 12 Compliant: Our feed is entirely non-GMO, adhering to Proposition 12 standards, which mandate specific space requirements for breeding pigs, calves raised for veal, and egg-laying hens.
• GAP Certified: We adhere to the Global Animal Partnership standards for animal welfare, which underscores our commitment to humane and ethical treatment of our pigs.
• Breeds: Our pigs are primarily Yorkshire/Landrace breeds, with Duroc boars. This combination is chosen for its robust health, adaptability to outdoor living, and quality meat production.
