March Piglets Available!

2/23/2026

Picture this.

It’s December. There’s a ham in the oven that you raised yourself. Bacon in the freezer with your name on it. Pork chops that actually taste like something.

That starts now.

Backroad Barnyard has 8 Red Wattle piglets available (4 gilts/4 barrows), ready to go March 12th at 8 weeks old. If raising your own pork has been sitting in the “someday” category, this is your opportunity to make it happen!

Why Red Wattles?

Not all pork is created equal. Red Wattles are a heritage breed known for:

  • Deep, rich flavor

  • Beautiful marbling

  • Juicy, tender cuts

  • Incredible bacon and well-balanced hams

This isn’t bland grocery store pork. This is pork with character.

Raised the Right Way

These piglets are raised on pasture and started strong. They are not given hormones, steroids, antibiotics, or vaccines.

Red Wattles are hardy, grow well, and thrive in outdoor systems, making them a great fit for homesteaders who want to raise meat naturally and responsibly.

Raise them through spring and summer, and by fall you could be stocking your freezer with pork you know exactly how it was raised - because you raised it.

At Backroad Barnyard, we believe good food starts with honest practices, healthy animals, and doing things the right way — even when it takes more effort.

If that matters to you too, we’d love to help you get started.

Only 8 available. Head over to the Store to reserve yours today!
