Here’s to many more happy and productive years ! Your pieces and your pics are a joy to many and an encouragement to press for more common sense in food production - all the very best .
Thank you so much for your kind words Jeremy. I hope to keep growing on this platform and raising the voices of small farmers ☺️ with a lot of pig post along the way!
You are doing the best work! I have to leave the property sometimes and the first thing I do when I get back is crawl into the straw with my big hogs! Even the little nuts ones are so much fun. Thank you for your comment on my note so I could find you. I am looking forward to reading more of your posts. C
Pigs have such wonderful personalities! Thank so much for taking the time to read my post!! I’m looking forward to sharing more and I’m itching to write my next piece!! I love you idea of sharing weekly snapshots on your homestead!
Thanks so much! We’re passionate about producing high welfare pigs in a free range system. It’s challenging at times but so rewarding!! Are your pigs pets??
Some are pets. A few are rescues but the majority are field raised pork. I have a number of families who work on the farm with me to raise their own food. It works really well. Especially when I need to travel. The black ones are American Guinea Hogs and incredible escape artists so I bring them into the barn at the end of the day - or I would never get any sleep! 😀 the big group of hogs just left the farm last week.
That’s so interesting I’ve never come across American Guinea hogs as a breed before. Pigs are escape artists! We’ve had some real mischief makers in the past!

I love reading about your regenerative farm journey!
Thank you, it was quite a journey. A LOT of self taught learning and some mistakes a long the way.

Yes! I do that twice a week and a whole walk-about on Sunday. It is tons of fun! Your pigs looks so good. Super healthy.

I had one big sow (Hereford) who often appeared up on the porch - scaring the visitors half to death!
Hard work but it sounds utterly heavenly
