Our Story
Ravenwood Acres is a family run small-hold farm in the beautiful Shuswap area of BC Canada. We are primarily focused on raising the amazing Tamworth hog aka ‘ginger pigs’ for their delicious pasture-raised pork! We also produce breeding stock and often have weaner pigs available periodically throughout the year as well. In addition, we keep a small herd of grass-fed Dexter Cattle, with a focus on producing true dual-purpose animals for milk and beef production. We generally have several calves available each year. Rounding out the livestock, we also maintain a small herd of hair sheep to provide delicious lamb boxes each spring and a few goats for their milk and meat. And of course, no farm is complete with out poultry so we have a selection of beautiful heritage breed chickens, ducks, and turkey to produce table eggs, hatching eggs, exhibition stock, and for their utility! We feel it is important to help maintain and breed heritage livestock and poultry to help ensure the viability of the genetic resources for the long-term. Bringing threatened breeds back into the marketplace is critical in this process. We love encouraging 4-H to get involved in all our breeds as we feel it is important to promote and keep heritage lines going.
