Garden Potaoes, Pastured Pork, and Sourdough Bread

Notice the date of this Post, 29 Feb 2024, and We’re still eating out of the Garden! Even though the Garden is long gone, Potatoes are one of those things that last for months when properly stored. Chow, made from Green Tomatoes harvested last Summer, keeps well in the Pickle Jars. Our Pastured Pork, and this Pork Belly, is so succulent and tasty, it’s incredible. The Sourdough Bread, made from our own Starter, who we call John Dough, is just the right contrast to the potatoes and the sweetness of the meat and chow.I also want to take a moment to acknowledge our friend, Sandy, for making the Chow! Made from our Fresh Green Garden Tomatoes last Summer, with our help, but so nice of Sandy to help us.  Knowing, that tomorrow is March 1st, and we have leftovers, means we will have eaten during nine months of the Year from last Year’s Garden!

The Mangalica (also spelled Mangalitsa or Mangalitza) is a Hungarian breed of pig, prized for its incredible Pork! Acorn Bluff describes it like this…

Mangalitsa hogs are bred and raised for flavor and great tasting meat (we at Acorn Bluff especially love pork chops and bacon from our hogs near Iowa City). They are raised in the traditional manner, and brought to market often through artisan butchers. This combination of techniques explains why Mangalitsa pork is more expensive, but also why it is oh so worth it. Mangalitsa is considered to be the world’s best tasting pork

The Berkshire Pig is a British breed of pig. It originated in the English county of Berkshire, for which it is named. It is normally black, with some white.
Nicolosi Fine Foods describes it as …

A heritage breed pig. With a long history that goes back some 300 years in England, this black-and-white pig is highly regarded for juicy, tender, and flavorful pork which is heavily marbled with fat.

Mmm, Mmm, Good! 

Now, imagine what would happen if You combined the two! 

Juicy, Marbled, and Beautiful Fat adds Flavour! 

Wait! What? Fat! Isn’t Dat Fat Bat For You!? 

Fat from Woodland Pastured Pork is, according to Hampshire.edu

Less saturated fat, more heart-healthy polyunsaturated fats Studies show the nutritional value of pork from pastured pigs that consume grass and forage is higher than pork from conventionally-raised pigs.

Our, Briden Farm Pigs produce pork that is an incredible combination of both Mangalica and Berkshire and is ethically raised, given the best possible life, except for that one bad moment! We allow our Pigs to express their Piginess on a combination of Woodland and Grass Pastures where they are regularly moved to new ground on a regular basis. Generally moving to a new “salad bar” every week to two weeks! Freshness, Happiness, and a blend of healthy pastures and outstanding goodness, in both the life of the Pigs, and the Pork! 

Look at the Colour, Imagine the Sweetness, and Taste the Goodness!

Dad, Briden, and Roscoe

Sadly, sometimes a Sheep will reject her Lamb. Sometimes it means it will die, sometimes it may survive, but seldom will it be adopted by the family Dog! Roscoe, our Yellow Lab, (I call Him a Golden Lab, because there’s nothing Yellow about Him), plays protector to all our animals He Mothers them all, even our cats curl up with him and even give him chest massages! So, I guess, I shouldn’t be too surprised to see Roscoe step up and Adopt a new born Lamb, who was rejected by it’s Mother! This Video Shows…
