Spring is finally here, and so is our pumpkin pork! Yes, it's as good as it sounds. These are the first pigs born on our farm and we couldn't be more proud. These Berkshire/Large English Black pigs were raised over the winter in deeply bedded comfortable shelters with access outside to soak up the sun on "warm" days. They ate several thousand pounds of local pumpkins and squash, hay, certified organic hog grower, and non-GMO open pollinated corn, oats, peas, wheat, barley, flax meal, bran, supplements & minerals. Please see our "Pastured Pork" section to stock your freezer :)
We are also gearing up for this season's vegetable CSA. Onions are sprouted and growing, and many many others are on their way. Remember if you pay in full by May 1, 2015 you receive a $10 credit on Ironwood Acres pork, produce or eggs.
It has been a long winter, and an even colder February, but we have our sights set on a warm horizon, and are enjoying the new lives that come with Spring. Last week 36 piglets were born, and our Akbash cross puppies are finally running around the farm, soon to leave for their new homes. It's busy to say the least.
Thank you for supporting local, and we look forward to growing quality food for your families all season long.
