We were lucky enough to spend some time installing at Engelgarten, LLC, in Bradyville, TN. Farm owners Lorna and Peter Dumas specialize in raising American Guinea Hogs.
"For the homestead farmer, this is the best hog to raise," says Lorna Dumas. "The Guinea hog is hearty, healthy, easy to work with, and they especially like a good belly rub," she adds.
According to Lorna, this particular breed of hog was once used extensively by homesteaders here in the Southeast but is currently endangered because it fell out of favor with the public after the pork industry set its guidelines for a leaner hog. Interest in the breed has been renewed as chefs are now actively seeking this pork for its tender delicious flavor.
