there is a company in Washington, Oregon or Idaho that raises Bavarian free-range pigs. I’ve googled and I can’t find it; could someone help?

“We are held back because our state and federal government still believe our economies are driven by wheat farms and timber logging.”
Nickels spokesman Marty McOmber later said the mayor’s comments at lunch — such as, “I am serious when I say we ought to talk about independence” — were meant to be tongue-in-cheek. The mayor was venting his frustration after the state opposed transportation projects and gun-control legislation he wanted.
“We have rural legislators making decisions on things like the viaduct and whether we can keep our city safe,” Nickels said.
