Fall Harvest 2011

It's been way too long since I've visited this blog. It's almost November and we are in the middle of harvest time on the pasture. We've delivered lamb already and now we're on to pork. This year we did something different. We collaborated with Sherry Murray to rotationally graze pigs on her farm. She had the right topography and four boys, so it was a no-brainer. She was interested in learning the method and using non-GMO feed. We are just starting to figure out that the profits aren't what we would have hoped for. $3.50 per pound for non-GMO, pastured pork is just not enough! I have to laugh at how we operate at both ends of Maslow's hierarchy of needs: survival + altruism. It's whacky! Don't have a lot of time, but wanted to write something even if it's silly. I will try to be more consistent!
