It's really tough to let them go, but yes, that is one heck of an opportunity for future sales going forward! I :clap you on your decision to let the sale move forward. The piglets are still real cute, and Priss is looking better.

That is the hard part of raising food animals that you have "up close and personal" contact with. If I were to raise meat chickens, they would be all the same breed and I would make an effort to NOT be able to tell one from another.

That is the cutest pile of piglets I think I have ever seen. So huggable! You are developing that "sense" that is in tune with animals. They talk, you are listening. I know if you felt Priss was in a "bad" way, you would not have left her.

Letting Emmy go was a big decision and a hard one, I'm sure. Y'all have the ability to build a good business and this is a great opportunity. So you put on your Big Girl pants and made the decision that is best for your business.

Here are two two restuarants in NYC that have our pigs.

Gemma at The Bowery got half a pig from us last year, so that fact they are ordering again is awesome!

Here is the restaurant who is trying our pigs out for the first time. Im not sure which location we are at I just know its in NYC. They were the ones who took a smaller pig.

And finally Juniper Hill which we have worked with in the past. The chef is so nice to us, and loves our pigs. He got us in ediblenj magazine summer edition and has visited the farm before. He always treats us when we eat at his restaurant.

Its good to finally see our pigs going somewhere. I feel like we will finally be able to make something with our farm.


Btw check out this link for our website which is a WIP. I havent gotten to editing it yet, but my dad did pretty good on his own. Although I dont know why he loves all caps so much. Any input is much appreciated!
