With food prices continuing to rise, we are learning to raise more of our own meat.
In this video I quickly build a pig pen from recycled and free materials, just in time to pick up our first piglets. These pigs are a heritage Tamworth breed and they are great at foraging and finding their own food by digging up the ground. This helps us by loosening the soil and churning up rocks, making it easier for us to grow vegetables here in the future. They also LOVE eating all the leafy green crop residues we are producing on the farm. They have been a welcome addition to our little farmstead and we look forward to harvesting them and raising more next season.
Subscribe to the channel and watch as I teach myself how to raise animals and farm gourmet vegetables!

Nice job! I'm learning, no pigs yet, but gathering info. I especially loved how you jumped in and did more than most people would ever think of. That pig house. WOW! Using what you had, trees from the property. You nailed it. And made it extra large. Thinking about the animals. Your channel will do well and go far. Keep up the excellent work. You also lowered my stress about the electrified fence set up. Look forward to watching your other videos.

Can you make a video about your fencer setup? I'm planning on doing solar next year, but I'm not sure how it will work on my property. Any updates or suggestions on raising pigs in the wire fence would be appreciated as well. I like your style with the rough cut and functionality of the farm. Great job!

Thanks! I ordered the hog fence and charger online somewhere, can't remember exactly where. Yes, drinkers will definitely be added next year - refilling that bucket when they tip it over is annoying
