About Us
Our story
We at Kong’s Hog Farm believe in emphasizing the importance of meat quality and quality of life for our animals over quantity of meat production (unlike commercial operations). We strive to make your values the foundation of our business and farming practices. We believe this will allow us to deliver a better quality humanely raised product to your table at a fair price.
The farm name comes from my father Nick Castiglia Sr. His nickname was K.Kong. He believed anything worth doing was worth doing right by giving a 110% effort. This might seem impossible, but we try to live up to his vision.
We are a local additive free humanely pastured raised farming operation. Our feed comes from a local company Natures Way Feed located in Romulus, NY. They share the same beliefs that we do by providing an additive free food supply.
We truly believe our motto “a happy hog tastes better.” We strive to make our animals’ time on the farm as happy and stress free as possible by providing plenty of space for them to roam and spending time with them everyday.
So come grow with us as we try to grow our farm and follow us on our journey
Meet the farmers!
Nicholas Castiglia Jr. (right) grew up wanting to have a farm and raise different animals. When Nicholas Castiglia Sr. died, Nicholas Jr. took ownership of his land and has been hunting and farming it ever since. Paul Lamphier (middle) is a lifelong childhood friend of Nicholas Jr. and in 2024, Paul had gone to Nick and suggested pig farming, Paul could get the pigs and Nick had the land to keep them. Nick loved the idea and pitched it to his son Samuel Castiglia (left) who also loved the idea. Nick, Paul and Sam spent months building and shaping “the farm” into an actual farm, by transforming the barn into an indoor enclosure. They brought home their first litter of piglets in June of 2024 and Kong’s Hog Farm was born. They continue to expand their farm even more. They have 5 outdoor caged in enclosures for the pigs separating males, females, pregnant females and the boar. The two pregnant female enclosures go inside the barn where there is a heater for her and her piglets. They continue to expand and grow more and more everyday. Special thank you to everyone who has believed in and supported them during this process. They can’t wait to continue to share their journey with everyone.
