Sarah Silva raises about 60 hogs a year on her farm in Sebastopol. It's a relatively small operation, but the way the animals live could soon become the industry standard.

Unlike the hogs on most big farms, Sarah's pigs have free range to move in and out of their pens and graze in a nearby pasture.

"The way I look at this is it's a step forcing the industrial agriculture community to move in a direction that provides more welfare to their animals," said Silva. When asked for comment on the issue they sent this statement saying,"Understanding compliance with California Proposition 12 is a key priority for NPPC. We are working on behalf of America's 66,000 pork producers to provide that clarity to ensure a smooth transition for their farms and for consumers in those states who want to continue buying pork at grocery stores and restaurants."
