We will visit a small hog farm operation in Virginia and show you how pigs are raised. After learning where your pork comes from, Ruth Wallace, 4-H Agent in Buckingham, will show you how to make a dry spice rub, sear your pork roast/loin/shoulder, and blend a sweet sauce mixture to use in the slow cooking process. Preparation takes about ten to fifteen minutes and the slow cooker takes it from there.

Learn a little bit about peanut history then take a visit to a Virginia peanut farm to see where and how peanuts are grown. After you see how peanuts are grown you will learn about incorporating peanuts into the diet and how to make a simple and healthful peanut soup recipe.
