Theodore Williams Farm

Theodore Williams raises Animal Welfare Approved hogs on his farm in Magnolia, NC.  Mr. Williams was born and raised in North Carolina and has been raising hogs since he was a young boy.  Today he specializes in “feeder pigs”- pigs that are purchased from a breeder as piglets and then grown to market  weight (240-250 lbs) for resale . At Mr. Williams farm, pigs roam on 25 acres of forest and open pasture- rooting and enjoying natural behavior.  They are antibiotic-free and steroid-free, and their feed is never supplemented with animal fat or by-products. At any one time Theodore William’s Farm has 75-125 pigs on the farm and 10-15 that are ready for sale.

Mr. Williams was an original member of the steering committee of the North Carolina Natural Hog Grower’s Association and continues to be an instrumental figure in the formation and development of that co-op today.  Mr. Williams enjoys talking to others about the benefits of the co-op and sharing information with members about feed mixing and feed practicing. He says that some of the biggest benefits he’s received from selling to local markets and being a part of the co-op are the training that he has received and the higher price he gets at market for his natural product.
