From Pig to Pork | How we dealt with our biggest harvest yet - Free Range Homestead Ep 51

Raising a bunch of pigs is one of the best things we've done on the farm. They clear degraded land, are easy to care for and like tummy scratches. That means it can be a difficult day when it comes time to harvest them for food and we have a look at the process here;
ensuring we get the most from the animals in our care.

FREE PROVISIONING GUIDE
Pascale has put together a FREE 40 page Provisioning Guide. The Guide explains and provides examples of how we can travel eating a variety of healthy and delicious meals for up to 6 months at a time on our tiny boat with no resupply. There has never been a better time to start learning how to increase the food storage potential of your home. I hope this guide will inspire you to make more informed long term provisioning choices for the future! For more information visit the Provisioning Page on our website ( www.freerangesailing.com/boat-provisioning ) or to grab a copy directly by clicking on the link below.
