F and A Acres

F and A Acres have been raising Idaho pasture pigs in Placerville, CA, in the Sierra Nevada foothills near Sacramento. They follow standard health protocols, ensuring each pig receives routine veterinary screenings and parasite checks. This heritage breed thrives outdoors, developing lean muscle on fresh forage and enjoying natural behaviors across rotating paddocks. Every pasture area offers shade, clean water and shelter from weather so pigs grow with minimal stress and strong immune responses.

The team draws on years of small scale farming experience to refine their husbandry methods. As a family operation managed by Manfred Schaubmayer and Annie Schaubmayer, they prioritize gentle handling and early socialization to build trust. Their approach encourages calm temperaments and a friendly disposition that visitors often remark on during seasonal farm tours. The farm maintains careful land stewardship practices that support soil health and biodiversity, with pasture rest periods to promote regrowth.
