    Second Spring Litter

    Well, Myfoot took her sweet time, but she finally had piglets last night. Like her sister Geez, she shucked out 11 nice and plump little porkers. Here's a quick view of them: 


    Geez is doing a fine job nursing her piglets, and they're about ready to start exploring their surroundings. I took a photo of them so you can see how they're fattening up on sweet mama's milk:PICT0002

    We'll turn these girls and their piglets out sometime next week, and we'll get some more video of them out in the pasture. Thanks for reading!

    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.
