Maple Hollow Farm

 
Providing a natural choice for the family.

We are a small, family run "hobby farm" located in the Cascade foothills between Silverton Oregon and Silver Falls State Park.  Our farm was started with a goal to raise natural food for our family and provide a healthy alternative to commercially grown meats and produce for others concerned about where their family food comes from.  Although not an official certified organic farm, we pride ourselves in not using chemical sprays or fertilizers.  Our Large Black hogs, Boar goats, and Barred Rock hens are raised on pasture and an organic feed that is custom made for our farm at a local mill.  
 
All the animals on Maple Hollow Farm are cared for like family pets, each getting attention from kids during chores on the farm.  The hens will follow our 4 year old around as she lovingly sprinkles whole grains and seeds around the pasture for them.  Bitsie and Coal, our Large Black hog pair, will follow us out to the pasture and then roll over for a scratch on the belly.  Rosebud, Pebbles and Gandolf our Boar goats, are often seen basking in the sun or jumping from boulder to boulder in the pasture.  
 
A Heritage Breed
We chose to raise Large Black hogs based on their ability to be raised on pasture, amazing quality of meat and their very docile nature.  Information about the history and characteristics of this breed can be found on the Large Black Hog Association website, http://www.largeblackhogassociation.org and at the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy http://albc-usa.org/cpl/largeblack.html
