C & D Family Farms, LLC is
dedicated to raising hogs in their natural environment. Our
happy hogs are raised on pasture and in wooded areas where
they can root and play and be hogs. They graze on pasture
designed for them or eat leaves and acorns from their large
wooded pens.
Hogs are very social animals and are kept in herds
so they can socialize and prosper. Happy hogs mean great pork.
WHAT MAKES OUR HOGS NATURAL: We simply do not use
Sub-Therapeutic Antibiotics, Hormones or Animal By-Products.
Here at C & D Family Farms, we use a special
feed blend by Hubbard Feeds from their Homestead line that does not contain
sub-therapeutic antibiotics, growth hormones or animal by-products so
none of this is passed on to our consumers.
We focus our efforts on raising healthy, natural,
and happy hogs.
We sell by the whole, half, or individual cuts; visit
our website for details. Our pork is also available at several farmers
markets, grocery stores and restaurants. (See Indiana Beyond

dedicated to raising the best quality food possible from
our pastures near Huntingburg in southwest Indiana. Our primary
product is chemical-free grass-fed beef sold by 1/4,

fresh grass and room to move about. Our cattle are never confined! We
ensure all animals are not given hormones, antibiotics, animal byproducts

used is the cornerstone of the operation in that everything done in the

for quality NOT quantity.
Animals are processed only after they are ordered.
The cut, wrapped and frozen finished product can then be picked up at
the farm or UPS shipping can be arranged.

Willow Pond Farm is a small farm
near Argos, Indiana. We raise Belted Galloway cattle,
Soay of America sheep, Tennessee fainting goats,
and bison. All our animals are raised free range on
pastures and only fed with hay and grass.
They are available by the quarter, half or whole.
We send animals to the processing plant intermittently depending upon
the growth of the animal. The animals are not on hormones or antibiotics.
They roam free on our farm with minimal intervention from us which makes
for a healthier animal and more nutritious meat when butchered.
