Photoset: Butchering a hog

I understand this won't be for everyone. Still, part of eating locally is getting more intimately acquainted with your food. If you want to know where that ham and bacon you like so much come from, linky-linky.

The pig is Berkshire, from a small farm in upstate NY. It was slaughtered at a small family slaughterhouse nearby, on the Thursday before the class. So this pig had been dead for less than a week before being butchered.

The only organ meat you'll see is the kidney. The stomach and intestines were shipped offshore for processing, and Tom doesn't know what happens to the heart, liver, lungs, etc.

No gore, nothing disturbing (except, perhaps, to vegans and vegetarians, so be aware). Nothing you won't have seen in smaller segments if you watch Alton Brown.

LFC event at Grateful Growers

Join the LFC for a special tour of Grateful Growers on Sunday, May 4^th at 2 pm.  Natalie Veres and Cassie Parsons have graciously agreed to open their farm to us.  You'll have a chance to learn more about the delicious food that they provide to the LFC and about their experiences raising chickens, pigs and produce in an organically, sustainable and humane manner. 

 

As stated on their website:

 

"Our animals are raised outdoors on rolling pastures which are not treated with chemical fertilizers or herbicides. The diets of pasture forage and grains are highly nutritious and free from hormones, antibiotics, and meat byproducts. We comply with animal husbandry standards established by the Animal Welfare Institute, ensuring the animals are safe, free from stress, and are able to behave naturally. There are no stuffy confinement pens or waste lagoons here.

Pigs are free to roam, root, and play in the sunshine and fresh air. The breeds we raise were especially selected for superior meat quality and hardiness for outdoor living.
Chickens are free ranging, producing delicious, nutritious meat and eggs.

Produce is grown without synthetic pesticides, weed controls, or chemical fertilizers. We believe food is a valuable gift, and shouldn't be laced with poisons!"

Please let us know if you plan to attend.  Send an email indicating the number of people in your party to Lyn Palmer at lynef@yahoo.com by April 28th.
