Now I have to scour the web, looking for other food bloggers who are doing the same. Should be a great experience. Did I tell you I am thinking of setting up some space for some Berkshires? If that goes well, we will be looking into other perhaps more rare breeds. If you know of any heritage breeds that have a really good fat (as in high) ratio (both intramuscular and extramusc) I would love to hear it. There is a growing market for extramuscular organic lard and I think it would be nice to find a breed that makes a goodly quantity of that (oh and it needs to be cold-loving, I live in the tundra of MA). Nika ps: we finished our chicken house - http://humblegarden.com Oh my goodness, thanks for the nomination!
