As October provides extra-special opportunities to celebrate our pigs and our people, the Oklahoma Pork Council's social media influencer partnerships continue to connect new audiences with our industry in engaging ways.

One of these fun National Pork Month collaborations is with Tulsa-based chef and content creator Elliott Wilson of Elliott's Table. A lover of barbecue and a frequent promoter of pork in his recipes, Elliott serves as a fantastic partner to expose consumers in Tulsa and beyond about quality pork products and timely fall Pork Month offerings. Over the past few weeks, he also served as one of the "Awesome Eats" judges at the Tulsa State Fair - encouraging folks to visit the fair where they could try unique foods and hopefully learn something new about agriculture.

In his latest video collaborating with the Oklahoma Pork Council, Elliott cooked up a beautiful October cider braised pork roast with apples and onions. Click here to check out his easy-to-follow recipe and peruse some of Chef Elliott's other tasty content. More to come with him and others who can connect more people with the goodness of pork throughout Pork Month and more!

Speaking of Pork Month, there is still time to request our limited edition Oklahoma Pork Council Pork Month dress socks by guessing how many "pigs are in the jar" on our website. Oklahoma Pork has earned quite the reputation for fun socks letting our members and supporters "ride for the brand" in a memorable way. So be sure to let us know you would like a pair of these specialty socks on our Pork Month Giveaway form here, and hopefully you'll be representing pig farmers in style very soon!
