About Dorothys Range LLC
Dorothys Range LLC is a fifty acre farm that brings farming and ecology together with an emphasis on sharing and educating.
Helping to restore the upland prairie, the pigs are pastured on cool season grasses, making way for the warm native grasses and flowers to emerge. The rare Gloucestershire Old Spots and Large Black hogs are feed a local organic rations of grains, as well as hay in the winters.
Raising pigs in their natural setting, producing both happy animals and quality flavorful meat is my passion. Pigs are amazing, intelligent, playful animals that are a joy to watch. Im especially keen on bringing back some of the lost heritage breeds of hogs, breeds that are exceptional in taste but dont fit the current large-scale industrial model and are becoming lost. Im proud that Dorothys Range is one of only a few Wisconsin farms currently raising the Gloucestershire Old Spots and look forward to introducing you to taste the difference!
Farmer April Prusia, Dorothys Range
