North Fork Pork and Poultry: The land of smiling pigs

There is no fear in the eyes of the pigs who wallow, nap and trott around happily in the fields of Doug Zorn's farm, North Fork Pork and Poultry.

No, those pigs aren't afraid or unhappy. In fact, they smile, especially when Zorn scratches them behind the ears.

Zorn, who is often known for his agricultural activism including his recent project with the mobile arbitoire in Grand Forks, is really a very passionate pig farmer who fell in love with the grass roots ideals of Mother Earth News magazine in the 1970s and has never turned back.
