  • Wonderful Resource

    Preparing to raise a couple of pigs in my 1/4 acre city backyard that’s overrun with crabgrass. I’ve been binge listening and taking notes and have learned a lot in a short period of time. Great interview style and very approachable. Would love an interview with someone raising mulefoots. Thank you!!

    Pork Ryan I think gave you a shout out at the HOA 2022 and I was sitting behind you. It took me a while to find your YouTube channel and that lead me here. I love the podcast and I have started listening at the beginning working my way through I really enjoy hearing from the different producers and different methods of achieving the same goal a more ethical and more sustainable method of raising pigs.
