Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do on our farm. Giving back to our pigs by providing nutritious, locally-sourced feed not only ensures their health and happiness but also promotes a healthier planet. By focusing on sustainable practices, we reduce waste, conserve resources, and support the ecosystem that sustains us all.
Feeding our pigs responsibly helps produce happier, healthier animals, which in turn leads to better quality meat and products for our community. It’s a cycle of care that benefits the environment, the animals, and the people we serve. Together, through sustainable actions and giving back, we’re building a more compassionate and resilient future—one pig at a time. Thanks to all my community partners for supporting our sustainability movement.
Since implementing eco-friendly feeding methods, we’ve definitely noticed a positive difference in our pigs’ health and happiness. They are more energetic, active, and curious, which is a great sign of their well-being. Their coats have become shinier, and they seem less prone to health issues, indicating that they’re receiving better nutrition from sustainable sources. Watching them thrive under these practices truly reinforces our commitment to caring for our animals and the environment simultaneously. It’s rewarding to see how small changes can lead to big improvements in their quality of life!
Let’s continue to nurture our animals and our planet!

At New Two Farms, we incorporate goats and lambs into our grazing practices to promote sustainable land management and ecological health. Grazing with these animals plays a vital role in maintaining healthy pastures, controlling weeds, and encouraging plant diversity.
Goats are natural browsers that thrive on a variety of shrubs, weeds, and invasive plants, helping us manage overgrowth and prevent wildfires. Lambs and sheep efficiently graze grasses and young plants, aiding in the renewal of pastureland. Their combined grazing helps reduce the need for mechanical or chemical land management methods, making it an eco-friendly approach.
The importance of grazing with animals extends beyond land care. It mimics natural ecosystems, supporting soil health by promoting nutrient cycling and organic matter distribution. Grazing animals also serve as ambassadors for sustainable agriculture, teaching visitors about the interconnectedness of animals, land, and food systems.
By using goats and lambs for grazing, New Two Farms fosters environmental stewardship and demonstrates responsible farming practices that benefit both the land and the animals. It’s a wonderful way to promote ecological balance while providing our farm visitors with a firsthand experience of sustainable farming!
