With the GrainHome Improvement Tips and Tricks

In keeping with the information being presented on this blog recently about self-sufficiency, we’re going to talk about how to raise pigs.  Raising pigs isn’t as difficult as many believe. 

Here are some links to lead you:

• How to do Things: Care For a Pig

Be sure you have enough storage space in a large freezer or two small freezers when it comes time to slaughter.  If you intend to sell the meat, be sure to thoroughly research all the permit and licensing rules, regulations, and requirements set forth by your town, city, county, and state.

Self-sufficiency is on the minds of many consumers, particularly those who are already implementing the “reduce, reuse, and recycle” practice into their households.  With these principles in mind, it’s a smoother transition into self-sufficiency. 

Why?  Because these homeowners are looking for ways to reuse household items and, in the case of composting, this is achievable.

Composting is just one of the many ways homeowners can work toward self-sufficiency and reusing items.  Good luck!
