You can by Dickson's (Brooks, ME) cultured butter made from raw Jersey cream at the Belfast Coop. You can also look for cows! I have access to raw Jersey milk for $2 a gallon and churn my own from time to time. That opens up the possibility for 3 ch…
Thanks, Paul. I used the cheese cloth method and it kept them together. I think my trotters were a bit too big in the end for the result I wanted. I'll try again next year. By all means, email me at bowman@mazirian.com.
Hi Brad,
Slit the trotters and wrap them tightly in cheesecloth during the braise. The problem isn't so much their falling apart as their curling up. Crumbs, crunchy, crispy... all those "c" words invoke delightful images!
Thanks for the mention on…
I am defrosting some trotters right now and was planning something similar. Rather than a bechamel, I was going to coat them in a breading after the braise and brown them in the oven, in a it's-not-really Saint Menehould kind of way. Do you wrap the…
Hi Brad, glad you liked the post. the trotters are frozen at this point waiting to be added to tofeja and possibly a zampone. Because of his size, it was necessary to prioritize all of the things he went into, and so I was forced to freeze some thin…
That was a really interesting post. I hope you'll do more. What did you do with the trotters of the January pig?
My new blog about raising two Tamworth pigs (and falling in love with one of them), is all about connections to the table. They ate as I do, locally, seasonally, and well. Neither of them had a lick of corn or soy, and I discovered that pigs do love…

A November and a January Pig
My new blog about raising two Tamworth pigs (and falling in love with one of them), is all about connections to the table. They ate as I do, locally, seasonally, and well. Neither of them had a lick of corn or soy, and I discovered that pigs do love acorns. You can read the post at http://gimmerealfood.blogspot.com/

I'm on the Maine Schoolsite Health Promotion Conference planning committee, and we're looking for someone to conduct a session at this year's conference on healthy eating with Maine foods. The date is Tuesday, June 24 and it's at Sugarloaf. The focus would be recipes for personal or home use. The session runs from 11:20-12:35. If this is something you might be interested in, I'd be happy to provide any additional information. If you're not interested, would you be able to suggest someone else? Thanks for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

Gail, Same as Meadow Ridge Per Farm. I sell bulb flowers, perennials, herbs (potted and some cut) and greens. In May we also have baked goods, meats, dairy...pretty much everything else but the late-season vege.
The two markets we attend open in May, Mother's Day weekend. This is great for us because we sell perennials and cut flowers. Our markets also have bakers, meats, annuals, and a few farmers with early crops. And to Penobscot - all the markets love t…
Hi Gail,
In response to your question: "Some of your markets open in May! Can you tell me just what you have for sale at such an early date? Thanks!", there are several things to consider. One is that many growers now have greenhouses or hoophouses…
Can u send me your email address....I can forward the application and guidelines!
That would be great! We're still in the early stages of planning, but it's good to have options and Milbridge is a community we would like to work with. Thanks!
