    Double Feature

    We've got two videos for you today. The first is of the new piglets. We turned Geez and Myfoot's litters out of their arks. The first day or two the piglets stay pretty close to home and real close to mom. After a week they'll be roaming all over, and then meeting late at night behind the arks to hatch schemes for their escape, well, the ones that haven't introduced their snouts to the electric fence yet!    Here they are:


     


     

    The second video is about how we plant large (3 inch) transplants in the plastic mulch. The plants are New England Pie pumpkin, and the seed had been treated, unbeknownst to me, and they're the only summer stuff really growing. My watermelons haven't even peeked through the potting soil yet. So, with my luck, we'll have pumpkins for the 4th of July and watermelon for Thanksgiving. Here' the video:


     


     

    Thanks for reading! (And Watching)

    About Pork & Greens

    • Pork & Greens is 7 1/2 acres of fertile bottom land, located between Bixby and Okmulgee along the banks of Snake Creek. Raising rare breed pigs and heirloom fruits and vegetables, our goal is to supply folks with healthy, sustainably produced food that can't be found at the local supermarket. After graduating from the University of Georgia with a degree in Animal Science, I worked in the commercial pig industry for 12 years. Along the way I figured there must be a better, more humane way to raise pigs. I put my first pigs on clover pasture five years ago, and have never looked back. I run the day to day operation of the farm and marketing of the pork and produce. After receiving her accounting degree from the University of Oklahoma, Tina has worked her way into a management position in corporate accounting at Saint Francis hospital in Tulsa. She also handles all the book keeping chores for the farm. We have two little farm hands, seven year old Savanna and two year old Sawyer.
