How did the hog butchering class go? A homestead debrief and chat
We just did a hog butchering workshop. Anyone Can Farm and anyone can process their animals! We had a good crowd of homesteaders that joined us both on-farm and for online distance learning via zoom to learn how to butcher and process their own homestead pig. Catch Mark's thoughts on hog butchering, the workshop, and investing in your homestead education. Join us in the fall for the Homestead Hog Harvest: www.BakersGreenAcres.com Watch the website for the video course to be released in the next couple of weeks! Anyone Can Farm
The State of Michigan and the Department of Natural Resources are trying to close down small hog farms in Michigan. Mark Baker has taken on Michigan Department of Natural Resources in order to protect small farmers rights to raise and eat beyond organic foods. The State of Michigan and Attorney General Bill Schuette levied a $700,000 fine on Bakers Green Acres for raising a heritage breed of pig the Mangalista/Mangalitiza pigs. The questions is, Why would the State of Michigan want to control the food you are allowed to eat?
