HICKORY NUT GAP FARMS

creating Hope for our Food System

one pasture at a time.

building community through agriculture

At Hickory Nut Gap, our community stretches from the farmers who steward the land to the families gathered around the dinner table—and every step in between. Through regenerative agriculture, we raise healthy, nutrient-dense beef and pork in a way that restores soil, respects animals, and strengthens family farms across the U.S.
Together, we’re building a food system that nourishes people and the planet.

REGENERATIVE FARMING


We implement farming practices that fight climate change and ensure that farmland remains healthy and productive for future generations.

ANIMAL WELFARE

We believe that allowing animals to express their natural tendencies fosters a full circle of well-being, not only for the livestock, but also for the soil, farmers, and customers.

USA FAMILY FARMS

Regenerative agriculture is most impactful when it’s happening on the land around you, not halfway around the world. Hickory Nut Gap Farms is a network of passionate, community-conscious farmers throughout North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia, Virginia, Georgia, and Kentucky.

Now that our turkeys are big and sturdy enough to handle the elements and avoid predators, we’ve opened the doors to their mobile coop.
 
Each day, they enjoy more space, sunshine, and natural forage— alongside a custom non-GMO feed blend that we grind in-house.
 
Our farmers recently updated the feed recipe to better support their health, and the results are looking great.
 
Protected by perimeter netting and moved to fresh pasture three times a week, our turkeys are thriving this year!

What do we do to keep pigs cool during a summer heat wave? We move them into the woods! The pigs really enjoy the cool shade, and also get to enjoy rooting for bugs and other treats in the soil.
