Goodbye pigs

We said goodbye to our 4 girls today. Girl pigs, that is!

This was our first year raising hogs, we started with 4 weaned heritage-breed pigs purchased from a nearby farmer friend way back in early May.

They turned out to surprise us all. After a fiasco their first weekend here (the great escape, we'll call it), they were easy-mannered & easy to care for.

In 2 weeks time, they will be returned to our farm in the form of frozen cuts of pork. They're being processed at my favorite small, family-owned meat processor just 5 miles down the road. They do a great job of ethical processing & awesome award-winning methods of making sausage, bratwurst, chops, roasts, and bacon.

Those interested in purchasing some Berkshire pork, watch our blog for detains soon.

We look forward to raising a few pigs again next year. And we look forward to meals of our own farm-raised pork this fall & winter.

Hog heaven!

Our Berkshire pigs are raised outdoors on pasture. This gives them the ability to do what they love. In hot weather, that's mud baths!

We'll be selling this heritage-variety pork by the cut beginning this fall in our Farm Store.

Pigs + Wishful Acres Farm's spinach = blissful happiness

Our Berkshire pigs love snacking on the Wishful Acres Farm spinach! Wow, I can't even imagine how wonderful the pork from these pastured pigs will taste, when they are supplemented with vegetables like ours! :-)

Heritage-breed pigs arrive at Wishful Acres Farm!

We had a long day today! We brought 4 heritage-breed piglets to our farm. Then had to build their fenced-in area when we got them home (procrastination is a bad thing on a farm). The piglets will be raised on pasture, and we should have the most delicious pork available for our customers to purchase this fall.
