Swine Production Resources:

ATTRA’s Livestock Resources website has many great articles on sustainable swine production.

The Pork Niche Marketing Group website has information on their alternative marketing programs, and issues a regular newsletter.  Though largely targeted to the Midwest pork producers, their "Projects and Reports" page has links to useful articles that can be applicable to the Northeast.
The University of Pennsylvania’s Veterinary School has a Swine Production website with information on the swine industry in the US, production, swine biology, facilities, and other information.
