About Gemstone Farm

Gemstone Farm is a small family farm in Grovespring, Missouri. Tammy's Grandma and Grandpa Crain built their home here in the early 1920’s. It was Tammy's family farm until she went into partnership with her good friends, Patti and John Giem in 2014. Now with their help and a lot of work together we've all made it an extended family farm.

We chose to rebuild the farm with a docile, hardy breed of heritage hog known as The Large Black as our primary livestock. We are part of the Large Black Hog Association dedicated to keeping the blood lines pure and are proud to be a part of bringing this breed back from its endangered status.

Like you, we care about what goes in our food. We also care about the health and happiness of our animals. Because the Large Black is a pasture hog, we give them plenty of grass, nuts and room to grow. Because they are a slow growing hog we get plenty of time to enjoy watching them roam the pasture.

When it comes time to process our meat, we utilize Swiss Meat & Sausage Company, in Hermann, MO. We chose them not only for their USDA certification, and exceptional reputation, but for the fact that they scrape and scald, which means we can offer cuts of meat with very little loss and wonderful flavor.

Along with offering USDA meat for sale, we also offer breeding stock, boars and gilts, but not breeding pairs and we also have feeder pigs for $100. Contact us for availability.
