    LA's Own Acorn-Fed Heritage Pigs

    Lefty Ayers is raising acorn-fed heritage pigs on his ReRide Ranch about an hour outside of Los Angeles.  Right now he has Berkshire pigs , which is about a 300 pound pig.  The meat is more marbled than traditional pork.  Find Lefty's meat at McCall's (2117 Hillhurst Ave., Los Feliz; (323) 667-0674).
