Greg Gunthorp was raised on a farm only a mile from where he now lives with his wife, Lei, and their three young children. Gunthorp’s hogs and chickens are free ranging. They have access to shelter and feed during bad weather, but spend most of their time foraging in pastures sown with wheat, clover, rye, and various grasses. The pigs even “harvest” their own corn. Gunthorp allows them to root through the stalks after the harvest on his father’s farm. The Gunthorps’ chickens are housed in up to 20 shelters that offer outside access. The flocks are rotated from shelter to shelter to spread manure and minimize the birds’ impact in any given area.
