Nice, real free range hogs taste the best, same with beef, or anything.
Most people don’t even know how good pork taste.
This farm seems really awesome! I’m not very familiar with livestock, but I
wonder is all the vegetation natural or does Joel plant crops for the pigs
to chow down on? Is there a concern for some weeds that might be toxic to
the pigs?
Ok, so @ 1:50, I heard this super weird noise…turns out there was a pig
behind Joel the whole time! Lol, that cracked me up!! But it’s neat to see
the relationship between the farm animals and the the farmer.
50 pigs per half acre he said @mybeefcows. All of us young folks who want
to farm in a bio-diverse way, should!! Don’t be afraid of failure, we are
part of nature just as much as plants and animals. Sell your TV and make a
difference!

Their environment looks so much cleaner, not walking in their own urine and
feces like factory farms
