Wonderfarm – Pastured pork and eggs

Pastured Pork and Eggs

Was expecting to spend a day driving through the Driftless to move pork between various processors and freezers, but I wasn’t expecting to catch the beginning of fall colors! The photos don’t do justice to the experience. But also excited to get to try a new product (hot dogs!) before offering it to retail customers.

After Sunday’s awesome chorizo experience, with no idea what to make for dinner and one hour in which to figure it out, I threw together this huevos rancheros-inspired meal. Wonderfarm chorizo and eggs cooked in salsa, refried beans and leftover corn salad, all meant to be scooped up with chips. Quick and yum.

Scrambled to restock the freezer and inventory lot

Scrambled to restock the freezer and inventory lots of pork over the last couple days, but I made it to market today with some fresh pork products. Summer has returned, at least for a day, so come on out and enjoy the live music and local goods!

Was stoked to see (and taste!) Wonderfarm chorizo along with grits and greens made by @chefyusufb for @fairsharecsa’s Bike the Barns afterparty today!

The herd of wild piglets has escaped their mama and gone to visit the grandparents and extended family down the hill!

I’ve been taking a break from the @veronadowntow

I’ve been taking a break from the @veronadowntownfarmersmarket for a few weeks to get an MRI on my knee (update: I partially tore my ACL and meniscus and have a couple other cartilage and bone injuries) and to prep for a big pig harvest. But my freezers are almost empty, so I’m going to skip market again this week and will hopefully be back in the next week or two with lots of fresh options! If you were hoping for Wonderfarm pork or eggs anyway, contact me for free delivery to Verona around 3 p.m., or order online for Madison-area delivery other days and times!

This morning was my second pig harvest in a week.

This morning was my second pig harvest in a week. I don’t usually have time (or an appetite) for breakfast on harvest days, but I’m hungry for comfort food for lunch. This is a Wonderfarm Canadian bacon and egg sandwich on an English muffin, with a decaf Earl Gray from Arbor Teas.

Two harvest days in the next week. Mending fences and getting pigs used to a new pen.

Also I’m always surprised that even my boring work photos are so picturesque. I don’t notice in the moment but going back through them, I’m stunned.
