In Europe Mast fed pork has been a big thing for a long time. Pork raised on mast i.e. acorns and hickory nuts gets a premium price over there. So we decided to collect all of the organic acorns we can and feed them to the pigs this year we collected 20 gallons of acorns in a couple of hours

Mmmmm! Lucky pigs!

If you soak them in water to get rid of the tannic acid you can grind them up and use them for cooking. I used to have a recipe for cookies that was really good, not sure if I have that any more. I'll be curious to hear how or if the flavor of the pork is affected.

Mast fed in Spain is high dollar. 3 to 400 dollars for a ham.

Do you know how long they need to eat them? Throughout their whole life or just for a while before butchering?

No idea. We have been feeding acorns at about a gallon and 1/2 per day for 4 gilts at around 175lb each. That is in addition to the non-gmo feed and non-gmo grain.
