The Ritters have been raising purebred Berkshires for over 20 years. Their herd, Revolution Farms, has focused on sow productivity, growth, carcass, and meat quality traits. Their herd has relied heavily on performance testing by unbiased third parties. Through these tests, they have earned three Super Sire Awards at the National Barrow Show Progeny Test (2006, 2007, and 2008). Also, they produced the #1 and #2 Berkshire meat quality sires at the NBS Progeny Tests in 2004 and 2007, respectively, to learn more click HERE to vist their new website.

The candy is disappearing fast at EDJE.  The bowl has been filled and emptied several times during the month of October with some of the favorites being Twix, KitKat, Reeses, Snickers, Milky Way and Heath.  Did you know the average American eats 24 pounds of candy per year?  I think that seems like a lot, but with the way we eat candy here at EDJE I kinda believe it!

Here are some fun Halloween candy facts from recipes.kaboose.com

Candy Corn
Fun Fact: Candy Corn was first made in the 1880s, and it was only made March through November. October 30th is National Candy Corn Day.

Snickers
Fun Fact: Snickers was named after a horse owned by the Mars family—inventors of this perennial favorite.

3 Musketeers Bar
Fun Fact: Originally the three layers were chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry nougat. Later the layers were changed to all chocolate.

Tootsie Roll
Fun Fact: Tootsie Rolls debuted in 1896, introduced by Leo Hirshfield of New York, who named them after his daughter’s nickname, “Tootsie.”

M&Ms
Fun Fact: M&M’s were created in response to a dip in summer chocolate sales, and named after their inventors Forrest Mars and Bruce Murray.

Milky Way Bar
Fun Fact: Frank Mars gave the “Milky Way” formula and $50,000 to his son in 1932, to start his own business—Mars Bars were the result. When Mars bars were exported in 1991 to Russia for the first time they were so popular that they needed to be rationed to 4 bars per person.

Junior Mints
Fun Fact: Junior Mints were named after the developer’s favorite Broadway play, “Junior Miss.” Both “Junior Miss” and the movie “Meet Me in St. Louis” were based upon the stories of Sally Benson

Happy Halloween!
