Aswego Farm
Located in Smithfield, NC, Aswego Farm is a small family farm that blends new age with traditional farming. Our vision is to provide quality, organically grown produce, pasture raised livestock and free range eggs to Eastern North Caroline and the Research Triangle. We challenge ourselves to increase our production to provide healthy food and animals for as many people as we can.
Aswego is an organically grown farm but our measure of success goes beyond organic standards and increased yields. We are working hard to close the loop by creating our own heritage pig breeding program, saving seeds, incubating eggs, making our own agricultural inputs and bartering help on the farm for our products. These practices not only help to keep our overhead low but also further our sustainability goals. To create a model sustainable farm we need to weave together conservation, production, and education- only in this way will we consider ourselves successful.
