BERKSHIRE PORK
 Cuts Available
We are breeding a few Berkshire Hogs because the meat, according to Florence
Fabricant of The New York Times, is "darker, more heavily marbled with fat,
juicier and richer-tasting than most pork, and perfect for grilling."
The pigs are supplemented with Organic Whey and Organic
Vegetables.We hope our customers will also collect
acorns for us from trees which have not been sprayed so
that we can share them with the pigs!
Our pigs are pampered! They
love scratches and small Cal-Organic carrots as
treats.

During our cold winters, we bring our pigs into
the barns and give them a cozy place to sleep. (They
love to sleep in a pile all together at night and often
snore quite loudly!) The pigs have an adjacent
play yard with plenty of room to frolic and take sun baths
and mud baths, however, we feel that it is the right thing
to do to get them out of the rain and sleet and snow. During
the cold months, their organic feed is supplemented with
the hay we grow ourselves, so that they can root to their
hearts content and still have hay/grass as part of their
diets.
When the weather turns warm enough, the pigs are
put out on pasture to forage. |
