Where can I purchase piglets in Maine?

Question:

I am trying to find a source for piglets, preferably in southern Maine, for this spring. Where can I purchase them?

Answer:

As an educational institution we are not allowed to recommend specific vendors or service providers. My first suggestion is to ask your previous farmer, if they have any recommendations. There is a Maine Pork Producers Association that maintains a Facebook page. These are usually producers who attend training sessions to learn more about how to care for their pigs. A couple other places include the Maine Farm and Seafood Products Directory and the Real Maine. You will need to search for “pig” or “piglet.”
