Yesterday, we picked up the meat from five beautiful, farm-raised pigs — born and raised right here on our land. Their cuts may be smaller than what you’d find at the grocery store, but they are DELICIOUS! ❤️
We are incredibly thankful for what these animals have given us, and equally thankful that we were able to give them a beautiful life in return.
No antibiotics. No steroids. No crowded commercial facilities. Just plenty of room to roam, fresh air, sunshine, and lots of belly rubs. 🐷❤️
Raising your own meat isn’t easy. You absolutely become attached to them. You know their personalities, you care for them every day, and they become part of your farm and your life. That makes the ending difficult.
But for us, this is the way we would rather do it. We know where our food came from. We know how these pigs lived. We know they were loved, well cared for, and given the freedom to live a happy, natural life.
There is something incredibly meaningful about being able to provide an animal with a wonderful life — and then respectfully and gratefully provide food for our family from that life.
We are grateful. We are humbled. And we will never take it for granted. ❤️🐷🌿
