We went to visit Bosco, who supplied the PEAS farm with our pigs, and learn about the operation he's molded over the last twenty years just outside of Hamilton.
On a gorgeous plot of land, the friendly man who loves Jerry Garcia and goes by a single moniker has united the rooting and pooping activities of pigs with the pest control and picking-apart skills of turkeys to revitalize and fertilize the soil beneath the century-old apple orchard now under his care.
If you want an easter turkey, a Christmas ham, or a good swig of hard cider, this is the man to know. Over the years, what morphed as an idealist home/side-job into a full-time passion litters the yard around the barn with old pluckers and racks for freshly-defeathered heritage turkeys. Within the barn, stacks of old wooden apple crates and industrial cider presses fill the space from floor to ceiling. You can taste the joys of fall just looking at all of the hand-me-down tools and supplies.
With luck, we'll be back in a couple of months!
