Last Sunday we had PIG FEST at Rupert’s Farm-Irongate farm in Summerville. We slaughtered two Berkshire Pigs on Thursday and on Sunday we invited some people to the Farm for a Feast.
The Crew ( Townes, Walter, Art and Dave) and I took the Berkshires apart and demonstrated what to do with them.
We cut up some chops, stew and steaks. Salted 4 Pork Belly’s, cured 2 Prosciuttos ( they will be ready in seven month) and two Hams in a Cider cure.
Chorizos, Truffle Salamis and French Salamis- air dried for 7 weeks in Rupert’s Barn-and some German Bratwurst.
For Lunch we made a sautéed Onion and Garlic stuffed Pork Loin, roasted on a spitt with some vegetables and sweet potato gratin
All in All a pretty good day. Cold but sunny and lots of smiling faces.
We are planning in doing some more events in the new year. I will keep you posted.
Maybe even a big Farm Fest in the Summer.
I wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy new Year.
Cheers Chris
