Growing Partnership
We work with other farmers to help raise our pigs and crops. It takes a team of many to help produce the wholesome, quality pork and beef products that our farm produces. We have a network of over 200 growing partners between our farm locations that help make things happen each day, each having a part in helping to "feed families through sustainable food production".

To assist in the process of raising the pigs from weaning to market, we partner with individuals and families to build nurseries and growing barns to house and care for these animals. We have over twenty-five years of beneficial partnership experience, and offer competitive agreements to help protect your investment risk. These partnerships are highly beneficial for those who also have land to apply the natural manure fertilizer onto, reducing commercial fertilizer costs, while helping increase yields.

"We like partnering with Hords because you feel like you are part of their family when you work with them. Everybody genuinely cares about our operation and there is no better company to work with. We have been able to return to the farm to work and there is no better feeling than that!" -FNK Farms
