AMBA’s mission: to protect & preserve the rare American Mulefoot Hog!
Outreach & Promotions
USPS Heritage Breeds Commemorative Forever Stamps
With some effort, AMBA Chairman and Secretary coordinated with The Livestock Conservancy on a specialty - commemorative stamp, and we were pleased to participate.
Aly & Ryan Salves and family, along with a male and female purebred, registered, and exemplary specimen American Mulefoot piglets were on display. Chairman attended the event as well.
Chairman Did It AGAIN!
It was blue, blue cold in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, Front Royal, to be exact. October wasn’t holding back on Fall, and AMBA Founder and Chairman, and husband, attended the Homesteaders of America Conference, 2023.
We met Nick Freitas, Virginia Delegate, learned so much from Daniel Salatin of Polyface Farm, the Lunatic Farmer Joel‘s son, Mountain Man Eustace Conway and John Lovell of WarriorPoetSociety. There were so many people there, so much to see, to learn, to do ...
We want to see some of our AMBA family at HoA 2025 - tickets are limited, so get them now! We hope to have a booth again and piglets from an area breeder - but if not, we will set up in an informal meet-up for lunch or at an area location after the event.
This needs to be the year we make it happen!
Where can you fit in?
The most exciting time in a small member-lead breed organization and registry is getting folks on board: literally On The Board! Thank you to our tremendous members for running for office and those volunteering, and even those waiting in the wings to jump into the AMBA hog waller to serve!
If we don’t work together to save this breed, who will?
Chairman sends greetings!
You just never know who you’ll meet when you rub elbows with like-minded American Mulefoot Hog families, homesteading and real-life folk! I met Gold Shaw Farm’s Morgan Gold at the October, 2022, Homesteader’s of America Conference in Front Royal, VA! Each year I've gone, whether for AMBA or for my farm, I've been able to see and speak to Joel Salatin, Eustice Conway, and a pile of other farmsteading, homesteading greats.
Would love to make this a venue for Annual Member Meetings! Looking at lesser cost options and alternatives, and this venue “only“ sees about 6k people each day … beautiful place, wonderful people and multi-faceted connections for all your homesteading, farm-steading needs! Pair of tickets for non-members of HOA runs about $99, and there are kid activities as well. Friday and Saturday with some extra courses or events on Thursday for an additional fee. See Homesteaders of America website for more information.
