A Few Words about the Authentic Pig Roast:

Byron Korus, owner of Chuckwagon Catering, will be here to present an authentic pig roast for our FARM FEST event. Using a portable pig roaster and his very own Chuckwagon Charlie seasonings for delicious local flavor, Byron will be slow-roasting an entire pig from Hidden Stream Farm. He’s serving it up nice and juicy, pulled-pork-style with buns, potato salad, coleslaw and fixings for only $5 a plate! Buy your pig roast tickets early at customer service starting at 8:00 a.m. Tickets will also be available at FARM FEST.

Check out a photo essay written by Charli Mills in our August/September 2009 issue of This is Living Naturally, page 4. You will learn more about Byron, his delicious Chuckwagon Charlie seasonings and the steps (complete with photos) for an expert rub. Click here for August/September This is Living Naturally
