Welcome Fellow Pig Nerd!

If you’re interested in learning how to grow a successful business from your Meishan (or any breed of) pigs, then you’re in the right place. My name is Laura Jensen – aka: the Pig Nerd®. I am a registered Meishan hog breeder, butcher, artisan food store owner, and farmer who loves sharing what I've learned with others.

Streamline your journey (and finances) with me. Schedule a consultation for one-on-one guidance on farming, stock, and business.
