Hi my name is Joanna

I have been raising and selling pedigree pigs for over 15 years in Canada. I grew up on a farm in the UK where we kept pigs inside and sold them commercially.

Free-ranging pigs in Saskatchewan, Canada and marketing pork directly to customers is a totally different ball game.

Over 30 years of experience in the meat industry and a sales background in pork definitely helped us stay in business all this time. Especially as pork is often raised poorly and sold cheaply.

If you are ready for a pig-raising adventure I can help you get started and you can learn from my mistakes.

  • Whether you have questions about keeping pigs outdoors

  • have trouble dealing with processors and pricing your product

  • need help marketing your product.

    I can help!

    Save yourself time and money.
