    About:
    Jason and Lorraine. In 2016 we sold most of our belongings and left the city in southern California to start a small homestead in the mountains of North Carolina. We left the city in search for a more minimal and intentional life. We became passionate about growing our own food and knowing what exactly is in our food after I (Jason) became diagnosed with cancer. Now 8 years in remission we as a family are on a journey to live our passions.
    We document our life on UA-cam videos to inspire others to get out of their comfort zone and not be afraid of change. We started our own online general store where we have available the things we make and use in real life. Thank you for following us on this incredible life changing journey!

    I liked to keep a digging bar out by my pigs. I knew where to find my bar if I needed it, it would be wherever I had the pigs.. I would make a hole with the bar and pour some peanut pieces or peas down the hole. We avoided corn. The pigs would do whatever it takes to get to those peanuts. They would dig out stumps, rocks or just make a nice hold.
    I called this feeding my pigs with a crow bar.

Going to be hard to say good bye but giving thanks to them when you have your meal is the greatest gift you can give them. So glad you’ve shared this amazing journey as your farm has grown. You’re no longer Californians but honest farmers living the life.....a great life. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

    @clydedecker765 4 роки тому

    Your pigs are talking to you. They greet you and they ask for food and for scratches. You are their friend and they enjoy your company however more scratching is needed. They are truly asking you to do it. My Berkshire wasn't quite as friendly but he was older when we got him. He was not neutered. Pigs are very smart and usually friendly like dogs. Treat them that way and they will do as you ask. You needn't fear them as long as you treat them well.

    Your pigs look so happy! If they till up your soil and grass on the hill, it would be easier to move it into a terrace step for later planting or a flat grassy spot for chicken tractors.
