CRESTVIEW — English Farm of Laurel Hill and Beattie’s Woodworking of Crestview donated seven Large Black Heritage hogs to Okaloosa families in July and recently contributed 150 pounds of pork to Sharing and Caring, a Crestview nonprofit food bank.
Rob and Patty English own and operate the farm just north of Crestview. They specialize in Large Black Heritage hogs, which are known for their succulent meat and bacon, according to a media release.
The hogs are free range, raised without using hormones or antibiotics. The Englishes provided the hogs for the donations and Beattie’s Woodworking took care of the butchering costs.
