Dykstra's Farm And Evening Song Farm

Dykstra’s Farm and Evening Song Farm, swine, Woodstock, IL, serve McHenry County and the Chicago area. The operation has been raising swine for several years, following standard health screening protocols and maintaining records in line with industry guidelines. Their pigs are raised in pasture-based systems that emphasize socialization, enrichment and access to natural forage.

Jeff Dykstra and Laura Dykstra draw on family farming traditions to guide daily care routines and resource-management practices. Their approach balances traditional husbandry with modern welfare standards to promote healthy, well-adjusted pigs. They share herd health reports and developmental milestones with colleagues and fellow hobby farmers as part of a transparent practice. Animals receive a diet balanced for growth and health, with feed sourced locally and regularly supplemented with nutrient-rich grains.
