Hi Everyone!

Great news! The Piggery had it’s first round of summer babies this week! Our current count is 27 baby pigs with several more sows birthing in the next week. We put pictures and a video up at our website for you to see. Here’s the link:

We’ve also added some new recipes to the site for your convenience. Feel free to poke around the site!

In other good news, we have a deli case that we’ll be unveiling at market in two weeks. We’re so excited! We think this will be really helpful for our clients!! You will be able to see all the cuts and sausages and we’ll be able to wrap each order on site to your specification. We’re also increasing production in July so we’ll have more fresh cuts for everyone.

Brad and Heather will be away for the weekend for a family event ( their only planned absence for the summer), but the booths on Saturday and Sunday will still be open for business.

Here’s where The Piggery will be selling this week:

Saturday 10-2pm: Red Feet Wine Market ( across from Ithaca Farmers’ Market on Rt13)
Sunday 10-3pm: Ithaca Farmers’ Market
Wednesday 4-7: Trumansburg Farmers’ Market ( next to Post Office on Rt 96)

Here’s our menu for the week. If you’d like to pre-order anything, just send us an email and we’ll be happy to package the order and have it ready for you.

We’ve had a few production issues with the pate this week and plan to have it back for sale by next weekend! Thanks to all our pate junkies for their patience!!

The Piggery goods are fresh, never frozen. All of our pigs are pasture raised and fed organic grains from a nearby mill. No pesticides, hormones, or antibiotics are ever used on our farm. All products are handcrafted by us in our solar/wind powered commercial kitchen in Trumansburg. We love giving tours - we hope you’ll come out for a visit sometime!!!

Thanks again for your support and patronage!
