I've been breeding and developing our pig genetics for 15+ years. Some of you may know what Iberico pork is... it is the Wagyu of the beef industry (crazy micro fat marbeling)... The Ossabaw Island Hog is VERY similar to the Iberian pig. Our line of meat pigs are about %70 Ossabaw, %20 Guinea, and %10 Duroc. The hogs that are timed and selected to naturally finish on pecan, persimmon, and acorns are sensational.

In the video, this is a Kune Kune sow (bred/crossed) to one of my above described boars). We've experienced American Guinea hogs before... on a 'homestead,' fat is a difficult commodity for a healthy fat/lard, flavorful cooking, making soap etc etc. Like the Guinea, the Kune is also a 'lard' pig. Both breeds, of course, have a 'meat' side...but you do trade meat production/efficiency for the fat products... so it depends on what your needs are.

Long story short, I am looking forward to managing/developing a line of cross Kune genetics for a lard meat pig.

Pasture snacks for coyotes... baby goats napping in the pasture... this is why you watch where you drive... and hope the donkeys are not too far away to keep the coyotes off them!

Bad timing with these twin lambs... I will have to intervene to save them from the coming cold.

Our big male takes a well deserved nap in the sun... still with a little hint of blood on his face from the long night of protecting his livestock. This picture says way more than words ever can about the harsh realities on a farm.

Just wanted to briefly update everyone on our plans to expand the farm... I am excited that I now get to do this full time! The "farm" is still the farm. However, it will be expanding to provide hands on experiences and entertainment, education and outreach... do you want to pick veggies, milk a goat, work a beehive, learn to butcher a chicken or lamb, you want to castrate a pig, band a steer, you want to gather your own eggs from the hen house, want to come out and take your child fishing, want to help me donate veggies to someone in need?? I am ready for this farm's next chapter!

Also, a new buisness name is in order to represent the changes.

Thanks everyone for your continued support, and I look forward to explaining more details later.

We added a trio of Kunekune pigs to the farm... a nice tricolor male to go with a black and white female, and a ginger and black female. I am very happy with our current Ossabaw genetics and the micro marbling in the meat, but am looking forward to the Kunes, and maybe even do some crossing. Also, picked up a nice group of Seramas (smallest chicken breed in the world). They don't serve much of a buisness purpose on a farm, but they are my favorite kind of chicken... and they make me smile!

Storm's first baby! Don't know yet if it's a boy or girl... she is being such a good mom... very protective.

I sure hope I can keep these rare, white genetics going!
