Black Star Farms will have their chefs there.
The pig making this possible is the Mangalitsa. Read about it at wikipedia.
PigstockTC shows the value of boutique agriculture, whether hops, chestnuts, or heritage turkeys; the farmer who mixes this low volume/high reward method guarantees themselves a mixed income stream. When Michigan realizes that its future is tied to agriculture I hope to see more events like this where chefs and farmers have fun with these new and unique ingredients.
Tip of my hat to you PigstockTC!
