"From our family's farm to your family's dinner table"
Our History
Our family has raised hogs, corn, soybeans, and wheat at our current location for over 30 years. The farming operation consists of Steve and Debi Hill with their oldest son, Marc, his wife, Heather, and their children, Addison and Reese. Marc is the fourth generation of the family to be involved in farming in Hancock County.
Our family is constantly looking for new ways to expand our horizons and educate everyone on the importance of agriculture. We are very involved in our community, which allows us the opportunity to educate our peers and neighbors about agriculture. We are very passionate about agriculture and the family farm to ensure that future generations of our family can continue to make a living from our farm.
In 2004, Heather obtained her Master’s of Business Administration from Indiana Wesleyan University. As her final project, Heather prepared a business plan for The Pork Shoppe, a retail pork business that would allow us to sell retail pork cuts direct to consumers. Although it took us some time to take the plunge, The Pork Shoppe went into business in July of 2006.
Our Pork
Our pigs are born and raised in Hancock County. We take care of the pigs ourselves and raise the corn for their grain-based diet. Our pigs have no added hormones and only given antibiotics when needed as pigs are a lot like humans in this regard. As most livestock producers do, we take better care of our pigs than we do ourselves. We are very proud of the high quality pork that we are able to produce and are excited to share our products with you and your family as we do with our own family.
