  • Join Us for Our First Community Dinner at Nacho Mama’s February 25 from 4-6pm

    Vigilante Acres is excited to host our first community dinner at Nacho Mamas in Ennis on February 25th from 4-6pm. Chili on fry bread will be the main course with the chili featuring our pasture raised pork from the 2023 season. Additional vendors with baked goods, jewelry and more will be onsite as well to make it a fun environment. This is a fundraiser for our farm and goat rescue efforts. The suggested donation for a dinner is $20, but we encourage you to come and pay what you can.

    About Vigilante Acres Pasture Raised Pork
    In 2023 we raised two duroc large white cross hogs on open pasture outside of Ennis, MT. We finished the hogs on a diet of apples, spent grains from Burnt Tree Brewery, fresh vegetables and whatever they could forage in the pasture. The result is a clean and pleasant pork that is the best version of what you would expect from supermarket pork. Come out and give it a try with us.

  • Mangalitsa Pigs Arrive at Vigilante Acres. Half Hog Shares Now Available.

    We’re excited to bring world famous mangalitsa pigs to Vigilante Acres. Known as the “Kobe Beef” of the pork world these fuzzy pigs hail from Hungary and were nearly extinct in the 1990s. Now there are estimated to be about 60,000 of them worldwide with roughly 50,000 in their native Hungary where they grace the menus of Michelin Star restaurants.

    We expect these cold hardy pigs to thrive in our pasture pig environment alongside our goats, Icelandic Sheep, chickens, turkeys and free-range children.  If you would like to reserve a 1/2 Hog Mangalitsa package for fall of 2024 please complete the form below.

    The cost of the share is $9 per pound hanging weight, which is estimated to be about 100lbs. From that 100lbs, you should expect to get 65-70lbs of usable meat.
