WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE WAY OUR PORK SUPPLY LOOKS RIGHT NOW. We are running out of most of the sausage flavors. Our next pigs are going to the butcher on March 14 and should be back by the end of March in the form of sausage and bacon, etc. By the way, these pigs have been supplemented since December with ancient grains presoaked in whey and skim milk. We look forward to tasting the difference. An Important Note : For those of you who did not receive our January newsletter, we will explain the feeding change: Prior to December 2024 we fed our pigs and chickens with organically grown modern hybrid grains. But as of that month we switched to feeding them regeneratively grown, open-pollinated, ancient grains presoaked in whey and skim milk . These ancient grains are sourced from Copper Horse Farm in Lancaster County, PA.
GREETINGS FROM THE SMILING COW FARM! This is our first patron newsletter. We hope it will encourage communication as well as be a source for learning about the hows and whys of life on the farm. We extend warm wishes to you following the Christmas and New Year holidays and we hope your memories are rewarding.
