Farm Tour: Small Scale Farrow to Finish - Jul 2026

📅 11 July 2026 | 📍 299 Yule Corners Rd, Jordanville, NY 13361, 299 Yule Corners Road, Jordanville, New York, 13361

Top Notch Livestock & Meats houses boars, barrows, guilts, and sows to support their farrowing to finish swine operation.  This farm tour will focus on the permanent infrastructure and equipment needs for separating various pig operations to facilitate biosecurity, disease control, and production efficiency. Approaches, such as separating pigs by age, production stage, and health status provides for a safer environment for your pigs. Separating sites for breeding/gestation, nursery, and finishing, reduces disease transmission between age groups and aids to ensure facilities/spaces are emptied, cleaned, and disinfected between groups. This tour will provide an opportunity to see the various types of support equipment, such as waterer, feeder, etc… that can be used to support pigs at various stages of development and in various environments.

Top Notch Livestock & Meats is family-operated farm dedicated to raising high-quality livestock and providing locally sourced meats directly to consumers. With a strong focus on animal husbandry,  production practices, and attention to detail from start to finish, Top Notch takes pride in delivering a product customers can trust. From raising show-quality animals to supplying premium pork and lamb. The operation is rooted in a passion for agriculture and a commitment to supporting the local community with farm-fresh, reliable meat.

NOTE: The social definition of “race” has resulted in systemic institutional racism and made it more challenging for people of color to farm. We ask this question as one measure toward our goal of supporting ALL people who farm or want to farm. You can read more about this commitment in our Equity and Justice Statement on our About page.
