We are proud to introduce a new member of the Eden Creek Farm Family... Thelma Louise!
Thelma is 6 weeks old and weighs over 50 pounds. She will weigh over 1000 pounds when full grown. We will be using her for breeding purposes to help save this endangered hog.
She is a registered Red Wattle Hog from the Macaw Ranch owned by Dirk and Shirley Loren.
The Red Wattle Hog is on the criticallyendangered list of heritage breeds.
Our computer got a bad worm...that is why we haven't blogged for a while! Speaking of bad worms,the cabbage worms have destroyed most of our cabbage,collards, and kohlrabi!
The hand picking of worms and worm eggs didn't seem to work this year simply because of the numbers.
Owner, Kristine Orth-Wheelbarger raises kune kune pigs, chickens and Flemish giant rabbits.
Kristine also grows organic produce,including fruits, vegetables and herbs.
Eden Creek Farm practices sustainable farming methods. Along with crop rotation and cover crops to improve the land.
