Berkshire Pork, a History with Horses & Farming Without Inheriting Land

Berkshire Pork, a History with Horses & Farming Without Inheriting Land

Alex Fulton joins Farm4Profit to share his journey from horse racing and landscaping to building a thriving first-generation livestock farm in Maryland.

Today, Alex raises registered Berkshire hogs, sheep, chickens, turkeys, and laying hens while selling premium meat directly to consumers through multiple weekly farmers markets. Along the way, he explains how direct marketing, quality genetics, customer education, and diversification have allowed his family to create a profitable business in one of the country's most competitive regions.

The conversation also dives into Berkshire genetics, premium pork production, direct-to-consumer marketing, grinding your own feed, Maryland Pork Producers, excavation, social media opportunities, and even Alex's background as a steeplechase jockey.

Topics include:

  • First-generation farming
  • Berkshire hogs
  • Direct-to-consumer meat sales
  • Farmers markets
  • Premium pork production
  • Sheep and lamb production
  • Pasture poultry
  • Maryland Pork Producers
  • Grinding your own feed

  • Small farm profitability
  • Equipment buying
  • Excavating business
  • Marketing premium food
  • Starting a farm without family land
