Meet Midwest Pig Farmer Sylvia Wolters

Sylvia Wolters is a pig farmer in Southwest Minnesota and co-owner of Wholestone Farms. The pigs born on her farm are harvested as products of Wholestone Farms and sold at grocery stores like Coborn’s/Cash Wise/ Marketplace Foods.

Wholestone Farms is a cooperative proudly owned by more than 200 Midwest farm families. Sylvia is proud to be part of a community that supports family farms of all sizes.

Sylvia and her fellow pig farmers are committed to raising high-quality pork while caring for the land. They recycle pig manure as fertilizer, helping nourish crops and preserve natural resources.

I'm proud to bring family-raised pork from our farm to your table.
