I’ll skip the intro here and put a few pictures up. Family means everything to us. We farm together, raise livestock together and stick together. I’m lucky to have a great group of people around me.

My daughter… never far from pigs. Or grandma.

Me, Mom and Sis at our family Thanksgiving.

My son and I working the day away. He would sit in a tractor for hours. (But it is always a safe bet to have lots of goodies on hand…)

Did I mention we have a few pigs too? (this is Cookie Dough)

This is my Grandma (Dad’s mother)… she recently turned 90. I learned a lot about baking from her, and my Mom.

Can’t get enough of them… hence, the blog “Food and SWINE”.

Here’s a picture of my wonderful father in law and daughter at the Iowa State Fair hog show. They were re-painting the numbers on the sides of our Yorkshire boars.
