Soil Born Farms

Soil Born Farms raises Gloucestershire old spots pigs in Rancho Cordova, California, in Sacramento County near Sacramento. Under Jared Clark’s guidance over the past decade, the farm has built its reputation on reliable pedigree records and regular health screenings with a local large-animal veterinarian. Their registered breeding stock participates in conservation programs aimed at preserving this rare farm breed and each sow and boar carries documented lineage.

Animals roam open pastures with access to natural shelters and deep-bedded barns, and daily gentle handling encourages friendly temperaments. Piglets are monitored from birth and introduced to a balanced diet of forage and supplemental grain before gentle weaning at six to eight weeks. Soil Born Farms emphasizes thoughtful husbandry rooted in sustainable pasture management and environmental stewardship, reflecting a welfare-driven approach that values both animal and land health. Jared Clark shares best practices through occasional farm visits and community workshops focused on sustainable livestock care.
