Danforth Family Farms starts new pork business

Danforth Family Farms in Nashville, Georgia is launching a new business selling locally-grown fresh pork products in area stores and flea markets, reported WALB News 10.

The hog producer started selling over the weekend at the Nashville Flea Market and had a big response. They are looking forward to serving their customers by selling more of their products this weekend, they said.

"Yeah, well, we still ship a bunch of hogs, you know, to the major packers. What we're doing is a small percentage of our production. But yeah, we want it to go directly to the consumer," said Terry Danforth, owner of the business.

He said they ship out bacon, ham, pork chops, boston butts, ribs, tenderloins and all kinds of sausage.

Danforth said there is a high demand for people to know where their food comes from and hopes their new business will continue to grow in the future.
