About
Rodgers Pastured Meishan's is currently located in Carrollton Georgia, on 50 acres. We raise pure Meishan Hogs on our farm. The farm is female owned and operated by Ashley Rodgers, 15 year career organic vegetable farmer turned hog farmer. Ashley has been raising Meishan Hogs since 2021. Ashley Owned and Operated Rodgers Greens and Roots Organic Farm in Douglasville Georgia from 2016 to 2025, switching from vegetables to purely hog production in 2024, and then moving the entire operation to Carrollton. Ashley and entire farm team LOVE raising Meishan Hogs.
Our breeding stock originates from 3 different farms in Georgia, and all our Meishan breeding stock is registered. We are lucky to be home to the Meishan Breeding association right here in Georgia. Meishan Hogs are one of the oldest breeds of livestock pigs, and are still on the livestock conservancy’s critically endangered list. Meishan’s are considered to be a heritage breed and are most known for their ability to thrive on pasture, their ability to obey fencing, and their excellent mothering capabilities. Besides the personality traits that make Meishan’s special their meat is incomparable to most other hog breeds.
Meishan’s produce a red meat pork, with an incredibly tender, succulent tasting fat. We raise our pigs with lots of love, rotate them on pastures, our cover cropped fields, feed them TONS of our farms vegetable scraps and take the best care we can of them while they are here on the farm. We raise each pig between 13 and 15 months, which is the way it should be. Nice and slow. Living their lives fully outdoors free to roam where they want, means our hogs rarely secrete anything other than dopamine. Happy Pigs Taste better.
