Yesterday, we took time as a family to say thank you and goodbye to our pigs. This is the second year we have raised pigs, and we are so grateful for the meat they provide us!
It was not an easy goodbye for our kids (or us, really), but it is part of the process. Each time we process an animal, whether it be a laying hen that is sick and suffering, meat chickens that feed our family and our community, turkeys that our family and community enjoy, or the pigs that feed our family, we always thank them for their sacrifice and for the fact that they feed us. We will always give our animals the dignity of a proper goodbye. Itโs part of the process of raising animals the right way and the best way we know how.
We are so grateful for these experiences and truly enjoy raising our own food! ๐ท๐ฆ๐
