Crosscreek Farm is pleased to be Animal Welfare Approved. 

The AWA seal means to consumers that our farm raises its livestock using humane standards from birth to processing.

This process is very different from commercial livestock operations. 

Our hogs have never had their wolf teeth broken out, their tails docked, or their noses ringed, and are on pasture 365 days per year.  The boar is not kept isolated, and all animals have access to sunshine, shade, creeks and mud.  Our hogs have a wonderful life, and are not loaded or unloaded using hot zappers, or other cruel methods.  We do not give our livestock antibiotics, or animal byproducts.  Our heritage breed hogs thrive outdoors on pasture and are slow grown with twice daily grainings, as well as supplemented with fruits & vegetables, creating lean and delicious meat  for our family and yours.
