Our Practices - Our Difference

At SunBerry Orchard & Pastures, we prioritize ethical farming, sustainability, and the unmatched quality of our pasture-raised meats. We are proud to be the closest pig farm to Chicago, IL, where all our pigs are born and raised on our farm.

The Ethical Choice in Meat Production

Pasture-raised meats from SunBerry Orchard & Pastures represent the gold standard in ethical farming. Our animals, from foraging pigs in our lush 300 year old oak forests to cows grazing on rotating fields, enjoy freedom and natural diets, contrasting starkly with the misleading "grass-fed" labels that often hide inhumane conditions.

A Commitment to Sustainability

• Rotational Grazing: Enhances soil health and plant growth.
• Foraging: Allows pigs to naturally maintain the forest floor.
• No Antibiotics or Growth Hormones: Promises natural, clean meats.
• Integrated Ecosystem Management: Ensures a balanced and thriving farm ecosystem.

Sustainable Winter Feeding Practices
At SunBerry Orchard & Pastures, we understand the importance of maintaining our high standards of animal welfare and nutrition year-round. During the winter months, when the weather does not allow for pasture grazing, we use our own farm grown feed to ensure our animals continue to receive the best nutrition.

Hay: We cultivate and harvest hay to provide a natural, nutritious diet for our animals during the winter. Our hay is grown without the use of pesticides, ensuring it is as clean and healthy as our pasture grasses.

Non-GMO Feed: Our feed mix, primarily composed of Barley and Wheat with added minerals, is non-GMO and grown right on our farm.

Benefiting Our Planet

Our practices not only sustain but regenerate, enhancing biodiversity, sequestering carbon, and conserving water, contributing positively to our planet's health.
