 As a holistic, natural facility, we don't rely on chemical medications to treat common illnesses. Our first line of defense is to keep our animal's immune systems strong and overall health in optimal condition. This allows them to fight off the many things out there that can quickly take an animal down. We know that bio-security procedures won't prevent us from ever having any issue, but it certainly is a piece of the pie. Here's what you need to know and how you can help if you are visiting Porky Pastures! What is biosecurity?

So fun! Thank you to everyone that attended the Bread, Butter, & Cheese Workshop! Here you'll find the recipes that we used as well as links to the products we discussed. If you missed this event, no worries - sign up for our email list here so that you don't miss the next one!  Our adventure with Maddy...There is something really special about a dairy cow. You rest your head on their side every single day as you fill your bucket with milk that will feed your family. They trust you and you trust them. It is special. It's also unlike any other animal that I've raised or cared for. I was naive when I first jumped in because I was an experienced livestock owner and I thought I knew cattle. I had no way of understanding how different it could be. I learned some things the hard way and maybe I can save you some heartache by telling your things I wish I knew.
You'll need to watch the video to learn the why, how, and when. Below you'll find the ingredient list and links to purchase a few of them. Enjoy!
Basic Ingredients
Our pasture raised, non-gmo chicken is hearty in flavor and rich in nutrients. Making the best chicken starts 1-2 days before you plan to serve it!  2 Days before you plan to cook:Two days before you plan to cook your chicken, pull it out of the freezer and let it thaw completely. Once thawed, place the unwrapped chicken in a bowl or pan and season it liberally with whatever seasonings you enjoy. Consider the marinating stage. Cover the chicken and place it in the refrigerator. This step allows the flavors to soak in AND it allows the chicken to become more tender as it sits. We like to do this 2 days before we cook but even 1 day will make a big difference!
There are so many great reasons to buy bulk meat from your local farmer. You might not have considered many of these! Time-to-table and transportation are a few that can be shocking!
