> Black Gold Family Farm in Akron, Colorado operates a farrow-to-finish Berkshire pig farm across 160 acres where over 70 sows and their offspring 'dig and roam indoors or outdoors as they please at all times.' With over 40 years of industry experience, the family-owned operation prioritizes 'raising happy, healthy, stress-free animals in their natural environment' through completely pasture-based farming. All pigs are 100% drug-free (no hormones, steroids, antibiotics, or vaccines), certified Level 3 with Global Animal Partnership, and fed a diet of grasses, alfalfa, and grains cultivated on-farm—completely free of corn and soy.
