Pre-winter busyness on the farm - barns, piglets, ...

Blog: Antaya Acres Heritage Farm   -   Thursday November 19, 2009   -   By Brett & Stephanie

With winter just around the corner, you would think things on the farm would be slowing down as the days continue to shorten.  Not so here at Antaya Acres.  Our last fall litter of piglets arrived the other day, and are doing grand: 11 beautiful...

Blog: Hurricane Farm   -   Wednesday October 14, 2009   -   By Chris

Clean Meat

Blog: MM Livestock Co   -   Monday October 05, 2009   -   By Megan

I had a gal join our CSA and she asked a question that needs to be addressed again. She asked how we prove that our meat is "Clean". I asked her to define what she meant by Clean ans she said,"Can you prove what they eat is safe?" Yes We Can! While we are...

After what seems to us a very long time, we have Red Wattle pork available for sale by the pound.  We are really excited. In fact I put a ham in the slowcooker as my husband was bringing in the frozen meat from the processor. Red Wattle pork isn't...

This year's corn crop

Blog: Twin Creeks Farms- Wesley Stephens and Bethany Stephens   -   Monday August 24, 2009   -   By Wesley and Bethany

We are finishing up this year's corn crop. We had a good growing season and our corn turned out very well. We cut most of it for silage and saved some to pick as ear corn. The heirloom variety we planted- Boone County White- produced some very tall stalks and...

Rain Gutters = Dry Pigs

Blog: Hurricane Farm   -   Monday August 24, 2009   -   By Chris

One of the projects that was on the slate this summer was to install gutters along the front edge of the barn.  Mainly I wanted to keep some of the water out of the pig pen, but also I wanted to try to keep the rain splashing on the barn sills to a...

Pork Products

Blog: Hurricane Farm   -   Thursday August 13, 2009   -   By Chris

Moving Pigs, Our Second Encounter

Blog: Hurricane Farm   -   Monday July 27, 2009   -   By Chris

Last week, or sometime thereabouts, we had to load three of our hogs onto the trailer in order to take them to be processed.  As readers will recall, our first experience loading pigs, while perhaps comical, took WAY TOO LONG!  This time we had it...
