In the small town of Jonesville, South Carolina, which is in the north western part of the state just outside of Spartanburg, is a small farm nestled in the beautiful southern countryside. If you visit at the right time, you will be greeted by an array of colors from the field of flowers planted along the farm entrance. Six Oaks Farm was established in 2012, but the owner, David Crafton, has been farming for over 20 years. At just 40 acres, David has developed a rotational process for his pork, beef, and poultry.
David has developed his farm to include a substantial breeding operation of Large Black, Tamworth, and Carolina Spot Hog genetics. All of the pigs at Red Tool House (except Merida) come from Six Oaks Farm. David sells growers all over the country and even offers delivery services to most of the eastern side of the US.
David has also been featured on the Pastured Pig Podcast twice (Episode 3 and Episode 9) where we discussed his farm setup and the importance of breed selection. If you would like to know more about Six Oaks Farm, check out the links below.
