On an overcast evening, we met our good friends Bill and Luciena Veenstra in St George for dinner in a pub and then a drive to the tiny village of Troy to visit the Chick and Boar Farm that their son Mark and his wife Tania are running. In the hundred year old house and barn, complete with huge old timbers and stained glass windows, they are raising organic Berkshire pigs and free range chickens. They sell their eggs and boar meat at a Farmer's Market and to specialty restaurants. They are rightly proud of their farm and we really enjoyed our tour - plus the bacon, pork chops and schnitzel meat we brought home made for great eating!
