  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP165 - Just starting out with 62 acres in Ottawa
Q: What are your five-year goals for infrastructure and livestock?
Kyle aims to have a winter shelter for pigs, a distant shed for farrowing and feeder pigs, and the ability to run water lines from a remote building, enabling a more permanent infrastructure for year-round pig production and potential beef integration.
EP165 - Just starting out with 62 acres in Ottawa
Q: What are your current plans for pigs and pasture movement?
They're starting with three piglets in a training paddock, using pallets-constructed pens and a fenced edge of pasture, with plans to move into the bush and rotate them to protect and improve pasture conditions while scaling up over time.
EP165 - Just starting out with 62 acres in Ottawa
Q: Tell me about your farm and the land you're starting from.
Kyle describes Purdy Farms as a 62-acre property in Ontario with roughly 28 workable acres, half of which is bush and half tillable. The land provides a blank canvas for developing pasture-based pig production and future expansion into beef and other enterprises.
Ep163 - Sales and Marketing Strategies with Moore Meats
Q: What prompted the shift from commodity-style farming to direct-to-consumer sales?
Jake explains that the high costs of coastal land and the need to be price-competitive made traditional commodity farming less viable long-term, so he focused on understanding and delivering what customers want directly, leveraging high-touch marketing and local branding to build loyalty.
E161 - Raising Pork & Chicken for Their On-Farm Preschool
Q: What is your favorite part about raising pigs on pasture?
Jacob emphasizes the importance of knowing where the meat comes from and instilling that understanding in his children.
