Men, have you ever had the experience of staying up all night, bar-b-queing a pig and watching it slow cook over an open pit, as they did at this farm 50+ years ago? You get to assist with 'dressing' it, making the sauce, and adding the final touches. (Bring your tent and spend the night.) You get to take 2 lbs home with you to share with your family and friends........the pig you helped to cook..... all for $25.00.
