Berkshire Pork Chops, Naturally Smoked Bacon, and Pan Fried Potatoes

Now that’s a Meal! We, Seasonally, raise Berkshire Pigs!

These incredible Berkshire Pork Chops, Natural Smoked Bacon, and Pan Fried Potatoes make an incredible meal! Of course the Watkins Products IPA, Adobo, and Sea Salt definitely helped as well. Click Here for Recipe 

We chose Berkshire Pigs because they’re a hardy, Heritage Breed Pig, we raise them in Rotational, Woodland, Pastures, keep, them happy and socialized with other animals like our chickens and goats, and give them the best life possible, for as long as possible, and we feed them as well as possible, and then they feed us! 

As a result, we’ve had incredible feedback from those who have bought our Pork, tried, or otherwise tried our Pork, and already have reorders for Sides of Pork. 

Last Year was our first year raising Pigs and we’ve learned, and are learning, how to keep them happy, healthy, and the Berkshire Pork is a tasty, traditional, taste that is reminiscent of that we all remember and love from our childhoods!

When it comes to Milking Goats

No Comments
Eve Producing Milk At Briden Farm

When it comes to Milking Goats, I really enjoy it! At least I do when the Doe is a willing participant! Our old Saanen Doe, Eve really enjoys being milked. Whereas Nanna, our Nigerian Dwarf Goat, has never been quite sure! We’ve had some over the years that just didn’t want to be touched!

I prefer milking by hand, while I know some others prefer machine. I am sort of thankful that I’ve never had over one or two goats to milk at the same time! I think if I had too many I might be tempted to turn to using a milking machine! Not sure though! 

Although I may find out, we currently have 4 Does, and they just had the visit of a Young Buck for a month and a half! So, come July, we potentially could have four freshen, that would mean probably having four goats to milk! It could also mean our having anywhere from 4 to 14 kids! Not likely to have over 5-8 kids though. 

I know I look forward to being back in milk though, we enjoy making cheese, yogurt, buttermilk and whey! The extra will go to our Berkshire Pigs, Larry, Curly, and Moe!

Curious, do you prefer milking by hand?

An Incredible Farm Grown Breakfast

Farm Grown Breakfast

There’s nothing quite like having a breakfast, or other meal, that is grown or raised on the Farm! Not everything we eat here is grown or raised here, but we’re getting to a point that nearly every meal has something from here! We have our own milk, sometimes we make cheese, we have eggs, chicken, bacon, sausage, pork, fruits, berries, vegetables, and even some herbal teas! It’s so rewarding! Come visit us at Briden Farm, where the tea is always on and the Coffee is not far behind! Friends and Family Always Welcome!
