Bacon Bus Road Trip

Bacon Bus Road Trip

Our pickup truck turned 30 this year and is showing it’s age, so we started looking for a suitable truck to replace it, one where we could add small freezers and solar panels. We decided on a bus. We found the perfect bus in Kentucky. School buses tend to be well maintained and affordable: a good investment. Additionally, this bus has a handicap lift to move the freezers and had maintenance checks every 20 days throughout it’s previous career. What better way time to spend time with your kids than to go across country in a bus?...

Veterinary Intern Guest Post

Beth is studying veterinary medicine in Edinburgh, Scotland. She flew in from Scotland and started working on our farm the very next day. The temperature reached 101 degrees F, unusually hot for us, but it didn’t bother Beth.

She also fed and watered the pigs, looked over the herd, cleaned up after them, helped us out at the farmers’ market, and wrote this: As a vet student who has completed rotations at farms across the US and the UK, I can confidently say that the high quality of animal health and welfare at California Kurobuta is exceptional. I spent a week amongst the most pampered pigs I have have ever encountered. They are free to roam extensive pastures shaded with trees and cooled with muddy ponds. Their life style is natural; ­ free of farrowing crates, unnatural confinement, antibiotic and hormone additives and many of the other health and welfare issues surrounding intensive commercial pig farming.   Not surprisingly, happy healthy pigs create incredible pork. Their lifestyle is inevitably conducive to a superior product. The Berkshire breed is known for producing top notch table meat, rich in omega 3 fatty acids and incredibly flavorful. I...

Our California Kurobuta Family

In 1998 Jack & Sara Kimmich bought 15 acres of organic farmland in rural San Benito County, California.  The entire farm is off the grid, powered by the wind and sun. The Berkshire pigs didn’t come till much later, in 2010.  They were first intended to be part of a self-sustaining family farm project, as the pig herd expanded, so did the possibilities of raising and marketing some of the most delicious pork ever tasted.  Thus was born California...
