About Us
8:28 Farms is owned and run by Greg & Kelly Shell. Our farm is located in Conover, NC, and was started in 2022. Our focus is on providing our community, and family with wholesome, nutritious food.
We raise heritage Pure Mangalitsa Pigs and Pure Berkshire Pigs in the wooded portion of our 17 acre property, and our egg laying flock of hens in our pasture.
We grow seasonal fresh produce and medicinal herbs on about a half acre.
In 2023 we started keeping Bees, and our apiary has tripled in size this year. We hope to offer larger quantities of our award winning local honey in the future.

Practices
Our pigs and chickens are rotated to fresh ground regularly for fresh forage, and they are all supplemented with Non GMO Soy Free feed. Our pigs are fed twice daily, to encourage foraging throughout the day. Our chickens are fed once daily to encourage foraging for them as well. We don't use antibiotics, hormones, or vaccines on any of our animals. We don't use any chemical fertilizers or herbicides on our farm.
