Pig, pig, pig, pig. Everywhere you look, more pig. This is what the kitchen floor looked like this morning. 3 pigs, all raised by our farmer Mark and his family in Port Orchard. the 2 sows were 400lb'ers and a smaller male was a 260lb'er
( the little guy is actually buried under the girls in the picture at right) Lucky him
I actually had the chance to go to The Dutch Valley Farm, about 25 miles east of arlington, or a little place i like to call B.F.E.
I was going there to pick up 20 Heirloom Turkeys, or Heritage Turkeys as I was informed. very nice farm, usual suspects around, turkeys ( looking a little freaked out), chickens & roosters, rabbits, goats, dogs and a couple of very wolly head of cattle. He was nice enough, the drive was very relaxing, saw 11 bald eagles, not bad at all.
Anyway, this is a picture of our walk in, yes, that is a ass load of bacon, I know your jealous. those are hams on the upper left, currently in the burn out stage of the curing process. I promise some more photos soon.
