If you are a pork producer, chances are you know a lot about efficiency and how to make good business decisions. But anymore, factors off the farm may have more to do with your profitability than the daily management decisions you make. That’s where the pork producer’s association fits in. MPPA represents all of the state’s pork producers collectively with one strong voice in Lansing and nationally through the National Pork Producers Council. By becoming a member of MPPA you are supporting activities that help protect your ability to raise hogs in Michigan.
The blurring of sweet-salty flavors seen at top restaurants is strangely intoxicating. Bananas and quail, parsnip cake, olive caramel…Here’s another kind of recipe entirely: a homey cookie that’s not at all avant-garde. Bacon stars with peanut butter in a smoky treat with the perfect balance of sugar and salt.
