Little Pig Man

National Geographic Channel

Little Pig Man follows Iowa farmer and entrepreneur Carl Blake on his quest to reinvent American pork. Drawing on old-world genetics, Blake breeds a heritage cross between Chinese Meishan and Russian wild boar, creating his famed Iowa Swabian Hall pigs known for their rich flavor and marbled fat. Equal parts innovator and iconoclast, Carl’s passion for great food and sustainable farming lands him national attention, including an appearance on The Colbert Report, where he introduced two of his prized piglets to late-night comedy. And left Stephen Colbert with a hefty dry-cleaning bill.
