Rather than hog the information trough, White Oak Pastures is reaching out
with a workshop to encourage farmers and farmer wannabes to consider adding
pastured pigs to their mix. Participants in the Pastured
Pork Workshop on Saturday, April 23 will bring home the bacon, so to
speak, rich with newly acquired knowledge about hog housing and fencing, feeds,
herd health and maintenance, selection, breeding, farm/abattoir transportation
and marketing of those mighty fine swine. After all, a healthy hog is a happy
hog! The 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m. agenda includes a tour of the Bluffton, Georgia
farm, lunch in the Pavilion and the in-depth workshop. Class is limited to 20
participants. $60 per person includes farm tour, lunch and workshop, and
attendees will see Iberian hogs imported from Spain. Register today through the
White Oak Pastures online
store (designate “pick up” during check out to avoid shipping charges)
or call 229-641-2081. Looks like it’s going to be #hogheaven.
