Blacksmithing Instruction
“By Hammer and Hand All Arts Do Stand” is a historic motto, primarily associated with blacksmiths, meaning all skilled trades and creative arts rely on the fundamental work and tools of the blacksmith, symbolizing that manual labor and craftsmanship underpin all human endeavors.

Our hands-on instruction provides a unique opportunity to learn how to transform raw steel into functional art using fire, hammer, and anvil.

Heritage Hogs (Red Wattles)
We offer premium, pasture-raised heritage hogs, renowned for their superior flavor, rich marbling, and commitment to sustainable, humane farming practices. Unlike conventional, mass-produced pork, our heritage hogs are raised with time-honored methods that prioritize animal welfare and the environment.
Exceptional Flavor & Quality: Slower growth rates and diverse, natural diets (foraging on pasture, roots, and seasonal produce, supplemented with grains) result in a deep red color, beautiful marbling, and a rich, complex flavor that is often described as how pork “used to taste”.
Humanely Raised: Our pigs enjoy constant outdoor access, allowing them to express natural behaviors like rooting and roaming, which significantly reduces stress and results in healthier animals and better meat quality. We never use farrowing crates, antibiotics, or growth hormones.
Nutritional Benefits: The pasture-based diet and active lifestyle contribute to a healthier fat profile, including higher levels of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants compared to conventional pork.
Sustainable Farming: By choosing our heritage pork, you support small family farms and regenerative agricultural practices that build soil health, protect water resources, and preserve genetic diversity in livestock breeds.
