It’s here again! National Pork Month! This month is a 31 day celebration of all things delicious, so bring on the bacon, pork chops, and pork loin.
In celebration, the Ohio Pork Producers Council is giving away a $2.00 coupon for any fresh pork product! That’s right; we are helping you eat as much sausage as you can possibly can in one sitting. Consider it a challenge or merely your duty to fully embrace this month.
If you need recipes and cooking tips, take a look at www.OhioPork.org for some great recipes from our Ohio farm families.
What’s your plans for National Pork Month?

I know, I know… it’s amazing that they don’t have cards, songs, and most important to any holiday, a JCPenney sale, to mark this momentous occasion.
Some hot dog trivia from the National Hog Dog and Sausage Council:
- Americans eat more hot dogs on the 4th of July than any other day. Around 155 million of them!
- Los Angeles is the #1 hot dog eating city!
- Sausage is one of the oldest forms of processed foods. It was mentioned in Homer’s Odyssey in the 9th century!
- The name ‘hot dog’ probably came from a dachshund dog that the German’s brought with them along with the idea of serving sausage on a bun.
Here are a few ways to celebrate this month the Porktastic way:
1. Take a bite out of this monstrosity- a foot long hot dog, loaded with cheese, chili, and bacon. Nothing like a little pork on pork!

2. Attend Brat Fest and eat a few for philanthropy’s sake.
3. Enjoy a listening to these songs:
- Hot Dog by Elvis Presley
- Hot Dog by Buck Owens
- Who Let the Dogs Out by the Baha Men
- Jack and Diane by John Cougar Mellencamp
Let us know how you are going to celebrate this month!
What is your hot dog of choice?
