Happy 4th!

Hello friend!

Happy almost 4th of July! 💥

I hope you have a relaxing day or two off to spend with family/friends.  How blessed we are to live in a country where we are free to do that!  Special thanks to any of you who are a part of or connected to someone who is a part of the police/military folks who have kept our country free over the years! 👮‍♂️👮‍♀️

 

Farm news

We have been busy, busy in the last week or so to get the enclosed trailer ready to have a freezer with pork in it.

(If you’re new, you can read more about our across state trip here –> https://www.piggeryrunfarm.com/half-hog-or-2-pork-chops-and-a-pound-of-bacon/ )

Minnesota Dept of Agriculture regulations want every surface on the inside to the cleanable, so thanks to my wonderful husband, we were able to get that taken care of, and the inspector was even able to come yesterday and we were approved and are ready to go!! 💪😊

Here are more pictures of the process….

The trailer came with these brackets on the sides and the two youngest had the job of getting them off. 

My handy, handsome husband cutting the metal to fit either the walls or the floor.

Luckily, there’s enough eye protection to go around. 😉

The front curved area was tricky. 

Some bottle lambs came to help too. 🥰

So what’s coming next?

Delivery to the Twin Cities is around the corner!

Do you live in the Twin Cities area and would like pork delivered to your door? 

I’ll be there! 🚐

And then, tell your friends and I’ll drop meat off at your location for them too!  

Consider being a coordinator!  It’s easy and you get a discount on your meat and free eggs with every delivery!

The first planned delivery date is August 3rd.  

I’m hoping to find two drop locations in the Twin Cities area. If you’re from the Chaska, Shakopee, Bloomington, let me know!

I will travel farther if there are enough orders…let me know!

From all of us here at Piggery Run Farm, with 2 feet or 4 feet,
we wish you a restful 4th of July! 😘

Position

We are Lindsey and Naomi Johnson, along with our 6 farm kids. We are a small family farm in Gibbon, Minnesota. We spend our days experiencing God's love, growing our own food, and encouraging and teaching others to do the same. We raise our hogs with plenty of mud and sunshine and feed them an alternative diet of barley and field peas, along with summer barnyard forage and grass hay bedding 24/7/365. This means healthy and happy pigs, delicious pork, corn/soy/GMO/vaccine free! We also farrow to finish, which means our hogs are born here and live here their entire lives in a laid-back, stress-free pig paradise.
