Right Off The Farm
#119937 - 01/12/08 11:56 AM

So this pig did not get the industrial feed lot treatment and neither did it get bought at a market. It has had one litter of piglets. This is the first non feedlot pork I have eaten. Wow, there is no turning back now. Awesome!

So after killing, we hung it for a few days then cut. The hams were smoked and cured locally at Vermont Smoke & Cure. I baked it for three hours. Melt in your mouth. My freezer is full of left overs.

Very delectable, Ann!

We raise most all our meat; beef, pork and lamb and mostly shoot the rest; deer, elk, and of course birds and catch fish, a hundred or more trout most years. And we eat our own eggs...

Except...

...the 'coons annihilated our hens a month ago. I shotgunned four of them in September but alas, they keep coming up from the river.

You are right; store-bought stuff is different. We whine every time we have to eat a watery, bland, yellow-yoked egg.

Except when it is offset by our own bacon!

I have a Hog and a deer hanging in my shop right now, another day or two and we'll have them in the freezer. We raise almost all our own meat. Beef, Goats, Sheep, Chickens, Rabbits. The hogs though are free, my oldest son works down the road for a neighbor who commercially raises hogs, and anything that he doesn't think will bring decent money at the sale, he sends home with our son. We've put 8 hogs in the freezer this year, they are so much better eating when you get to decide what to feed them and how to butcher them.

That look REALLY yummy Ann. I'm tempted to fly over and visit you just to eat the leftovers!

Ann

Looks great--agree with you that store bought is NO where near the big feed lot animals...

We buy our beef from a friend of mine that is all organic--no shots, no spray on the grass or hay, etc...also buy buffalo using the same standards..

My son, because of a medical condition can not tolerate anything other than that--so we have all followed suite...and feel much better...

thx

I am of the opinion that the food supply in the US is poisoned. I just read an article a few days ago where the USDA was setting ACCEPTABLE LEVELS of MELAMINE in milk and other items imported from China.

I just about crapped myself. WHY SHOULD ANY be allowed period? At least people in Vermont can buy direct from the dairy now, raw even, whether it be cow or goat milk.

I am slaughtering a bunch of turkeys later this month. I have 35 home raised broilers in the freezer already.
