Pasture-raised pigs, a new adventure!
Thriving with Pasture-Raised Pigs
Regenerative Farming Near New Orleans
A Regenerative Family Farming Tradition
At Credo Farms, nestled within the verdant landscapes that sprawl outward from the heart of New Orleans, a revolution is quietly unfolding. We're not just raising pigs; we're nurturing ecosystems, strengthening family ties, and redefining the essence of farming. Our pasture-raised pigs are at the forefront of this agricultural renaissance, embodying the principles of regenerative farming that we hold dear.
The Heart of Regenerative Agriculture
Our farm is more than just a plot of land; it's a living, breathing organism that stretches across the vibrant communities from Baton Rouge to Gulfport, resonating with the rhythms of the Earth. Each Tamworth, Berkshire, and Duroc that roams our pastures does so in a delicate dance with nature, turning the soil and invigorating it with life. These heritage breeds, known for their adaptability and foraging prowess, thrive in our southern climate, basking in the warm sun and feeding on the lush, diverse pastures that stretch as far as the eye can see. In the shadow of the bustling metropolis of New Orleans, our pigs are a testament to the balance that can be achieved when we align our farming practices with nature's intent. The breeds we've chosen, including the resilient Large Black and the gentle Red Wattle, have been selected not only for their ability to thrive in the warm, humid conditions that blanket cities like Metairie and Slidell but also for their contribution to the farm's overall health. They graze and forage, naturally fertilizing the land, and are rotated across the pastures in a way that prevents overgrazing and soil depletion.
Sowing Seeds of Sustainability
Our philosophy at Credo Farms is simple: we believe in creating a self-sustaining cycle that enriches our soil, supports biodiversity, and produces the highest quality pork. By employing rotational grazing strategies, our pigs play a crucial role in this cycle, enhancing soil fertility and structure as they move from one area to another. This not only benefits the land but also nurtures a healthier, more natural environment for the pigs themselves. As a family-run farm, we're committed to the idea that regenerative agriculture is not just a method of farming—it's a way of life that connects us to the communities around us, from Kenner to Covington. We welcome visitors to experience firsthand the serene beauty of our farm and to understand the impact of their choices as consumers.
A Local Farm with a Global Vision
Our vision extends beyond our pastures. By embracing regenerative practices, we aim to inspire fellow farmers in our neighboring cities like Hammond and Mandeville to adopt methods that will ensure the longevity of our land for generations to come.
