Last weekend, we picked uo 3 young shoats (that’s farm speak for pigs). They will be raised until June and then will be participating in the freezer restocking program.  
The last pigs we raised were on organic, GMO free, soy free feed.  While the meat was good and we believe in the principles of organic feed, the cost is just too high.  It was a hard choice, but we have decided to keep our farm on commercial feed due to the significant cost difference.   Regardless of the feed decision, we still firmly believe the locally raised meat is safer and healthier because there are NO antibiotics given to the animals.
