We plan to eventually raise all heritage breed pigs (for natural foraging abilities, better quality meat, better bacon, better lard, etc.), and … Read more
The last time I tried lamb, I didn’t like it at all. We had purchased 1/2 of a lamb through a farm a year or so ago, and I didn’t like it. My husband ended up cooking it whenever I wasn’t going to be home for the evening or I was away on a retreat … Read more

The Farmer worked from home today (I love those days!) and I wanted to make a better-than-average … Read more
