How Contract Growing Works
Tosh Farms is dedicated to people. We partner with over 95 independent family farmers in Tennessee and Kentucky who provide care for our pigs on a contractual basis. These partnerships allow us to do our part to help keep family farming alive by ensuring steady income and financial stability for the grower and his family. At the same time, Tosh gains a trusted colleague dedicated to raising pigs safely and responsibly.
