Quality Pork & Specialized Flour Production
Terza Farms is locally owned and operated by the Duke family
since 1975. Larry and Lucy Duke started out as a Holstein dairy farm.
In 1998, their son Matt Duke and his wife Carol changed the farm over
to swine. In 2002, an addition was built onto the barns and we began
raising piglets from 450 sows.
We strive for excellence:
- Animal care and healthy production
- Our sow herd is considered to be of "high health status", which means it is free of the most common swine diseases.
- Sows
are housed in open pens, in a bright, naturally ventilated barn. This
system allows them to socialize, and maintain natural behaviour
As well, these sows are provided with free access to straw.
In 2004, our farm became CQA certified, which is a nationally
recognized quality assurance program. In order to maintain our
certification, our farm must comply with a long list of rules and
regulations and must be inspected regularly by a certified
veterinarian. This certification is recognition of excellence within
the swine industry.
