Dobson Farm – Magnolia, NC

By Animal Welfare Approved | November 7, 2007

Fred Dobson was raised on a farm by a father with lots of know-how. That’s where Fred learned about raising animals, and it gave him the inspiration to keep farming to this day. He now raises pigs on his own land, explaining, “From the start, I have been very particular about my farm practices and the safety and welfare of my animals.” Applying to Animal Welfare Approved gave him a set of standards that consumers could see he adhered to, and in addition a valuable marketing niche.
