Berkshire Piglets

We recently moved our three Berkshire Piglets, Larry, Curly, and Moe, to new pasture and Moe came over to say Thank You! Pigs are funny, endearing, and like to express their love and tenderness and thankfulness by rubbing and wagging their tails! Just watch this Video…

Moving Our Berkshire Pigs To Electric Wire Fencing

Berkshire Pigs on Woodland Pasture

We brought Larry, Curly and Moe, our Berkshire Pigs home to Briden Farm on March 27, 2022, when they were just ten weeks old. They’re now about 17 weeks old.

We’ve actually had them on Woodland Pasture since their arrival. Introducing them to Electric Wire Fencing a couple weeks ago. It’s first time using Electric Wire Fencing for pigs, and I really wondered! t’s hard to believe you can string a couple, or three strands of wire, hook it to a fence charger, and have those pigs stay in their pasture! It’s incredible to see…

I could watch them All day! They’re incredible to watch! Seeing how they interact, how the work, and how they recognize things like the white fence posts and electric wires. You can literally see that they recognize it! 

If you’ve never sat and watched Pigs work! We invite You to come spend sometime at Briden Farm. Call Now to Book A Time to Visit. Call Brian at (902) 907-0770

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!

Homemade Pasta & Woodland Pasture Raised Pork

Homemade Pasta and Woodland Pasture Raised Pork

I love it when a good meal comes together almost as much as I love our becoming more and more self sufficient here at Briden Farm. Imagine sitting down to a supper of Homemade Pasta & Woodland Pasture Raised Pork that you’ve made and raised! 

The photo above is exactly that! We milk our Goats for the milk, and then make butter! The left over part of making butter is Butter Milk and that’s what I use to cook our Berkshire woodland pastured, oven baked, pork chops!

The pasta, I made a week or so ago, and dried it for ready use and yesterday I cooked it in the Whey, which was left over from making cheese from our Goat Milk! Not only had I added oregano and basil, both from Watkins, to the egg, flour, and olive oil when I made the pasta, but also added a bit more to the whey when I cooked the pasta! So you just know that has to be good! 

As you can tell… I love to play with my food and using Watkins Products makes that so much fun! (Learn More)
