Have you seen the Idaho pasture pigs? They are a cross with kune and I have heard wonderful things about them.
I can't believe you are wearing coats! It's still in the high 80s here ugh I'm so ready for a cool down
A smaller pig would be easier to harvest and keep on hoof rather than taking a BIG one and needing to process it all.
Many people eat out or on the run. They have no idea how much they consume in a month much less a year. Thinking what you eat each day and then in a week, including foods you eat outside of the home will be a start. When the big C started and folks were told they might have to stay at home a month there was a necessary rush on the grocery stores as many people didn't even have 1 weeks worth of food at home. The homestead lifestyle requires thinking way beyond this week. I appreciate your ideas. Most people really have no idea how much they consume in a year as food is always "just there".
I have a question I hope you can answer regarding home schooling. The idea of it is really appealing for a multitude of reasons, but how do you expose your kids to outside interactions, that would normally happen in school, to teach them important social skills?
Azure standard has been delivering to Georgia for a while already.
Really good points about the vegetables, especially, thank you!
Do you use a food saver and what one do you Recommend? Nancy from nebraska
You guys just look like fall. Flannels layered and apples hanging in the background. ☺️ Love it. No flannels yet here in the south. 🥵
so so informative! Thank you so much for sharing 😀
Our kunekunes are very friendly they love to be petted and scratched. They will follow you and beg for attention. They take longer to mature than most pigs to mature. Our sows are great moms. The male is completely trustworthy with his babies and protects them and the sows. They will root even on good pasture, if they detect a shallow root they determine to be tasty. Not deep or tearing up the whole pasture. Our Great Pyrenees digs up way more pasture than these pigs lol.
I was just wondering how much land you own/grow crops on.
Please name one of your pigs Cris P. Bacon
Ok, maybe I should have waited to pop over to Azure’s website until AFTER I’d finished watching this. ☺️ But they’re shipping to the EAST COAST, people! 🥳 And there’s a drop off point only an hour away.🤩
Love your videos! Do you ever substitute parsnips in your stew canning recipe?
Little mountain ranch just did a squash taste test video and candy roaster won
I was born in 1963 up until my parents divorced when I was 11, My family had a food supply for the whole year. In the fall my father would buy a whole cow, multiple pigs, and tons of chickens. I remember at least 3 large chest freezers, but I sorta remember a couple uprights also. We also had a big garden and my mom canned blanched and froze the whole season long. We lived in a 4 season state. This was done because of income. My dad was in the Airforce and my mom was a teacher. I did my father SS for him in the 50's he made 40 dollars a month. I think most people do not realize by the time I was born in 63 most households had only had a fridge/freezer in the house for about 10 11 years at that point. I am talking as the norm. I think society has suffered because we no longer do this.
I grow the N. Georgia Candy Roaster down here in Tennessee. They are so prolific, and I think that you will love the taste if you like a sweeter winter squash. I really appreciate the texture of them as well.
I agree with you both…I can when available and adjust the following year! The planning of how much makes me smile…as you say, its a good start. When I plant, I plant one for the geese, one for the mole and one for me, plus one for the shelf….and then preserve whatever it produces! Makes me smile when people only have what they eat and some throw out what they do not use after a year…makes me cringe. Good video guys!
Eastern PA, just put in my order for Azure 🙂
How fun! Kunekune is Babe!
Where do you get your seed for the Candy Mountain corn?
Can you show your storge set up.
QUESTION: How do you "deal" with the scheduling of a funeral? Ex. If you are I the middle of harvesting season how do you handle going to that funeral and taking care of your harvest?
How do you store your root crops
