Berkshire pork

[cycletrash]

I was wondering how many of you use Berkshire pork for your smoke  and what ever you cure ?

The more i read up on them the more i want some...do you all order your Berkshire pork from the butcher or from a local store ?

I've got a place less than an hours drive that raises Berkshire, Tamworth, Ironage and Wild Boar.

An organic farmers market that's only open Sat mornings has it.

Might cruise by Sat.

Let you know how it shakes out!

Looks like a bunch of hippies...

I raise Berkshires.. they are tasty.  A bit sweeter meat in my opinion., but then like any pork, it depends on how they are raised.

 I like to butcher the younger ones for whole hog cooks. They are so tender.....
