Just wait until the “abundance” makes it to your freezer and table, then tell me if you wouldn’t do it again. The feeling is so satisfying. The chores are over, the work is done in such short order.

That is wonderful that your family got to experience raising pigs, for food. I watch a couple homesteaders on YouTube who do their own growing of beef, lamb, and pork, and then butchering them. “Off Grid with Doug and Stacy”, Justin and Rebekah Rhodes, “Lumnah Acres” with Al And Gina. I think that would be hard. But well worth it for the cost, and for raising better quality meat.

Our family still gets our beef from a grass fed, grass finished Rancher out of Tenino, WA. at Colvin Ranch. It is worth every penny. I see we have grass raised beef growing right here in Kingston. I have been wanting to find out if they sell their beef. Anyway…If we could raise animals here, I would. Maybe it is time to see if our Home Owners Association would make some changes. We have enough property to grow at least a couple animals on our property. We will have to see.

God bless your family Keri, and Thank you for your blog posts. They are an inspiration, and helps people see that they could raise food if they wanted to. God bless you, Tom, and the family!! 💜🥰🙏🏻
