The Travelling Pig Farmer
Watch this episode (RealVideo runs 22:14)
He's known all over western Newfoundland...he and his one-ton '83 Chev. Ross Smith. The travelling pig farmer.Each week, Ross loads the Chev with his home-grown pork, and delivers door-to-door. For a dozen years now, he's been making his pork portable. And it's paid off.
What began with a few pigs in Ross Smith's back yard is now the second largest commercial pig farm in Newfoundland. An operation that grew from a retirement project, to another full time job for Ross. And his sons. And his daughter-in-law as well.
He's a man with a thing about pigs. With miles and miles to go.
