My very first thought when she said value added USDA kitchen was Laura Jensen. I literally have Meishan pigs because of your video on her. Our farm is actually based on agro tourism and not selling product. I just taught our first 2 processing classes, 10 people each, 3 hours each class (included farm tour, meet and greet, etc) and made $1500. To make that much selling chickens at a farmers market, or farm group... so much more work. We're now talking with local chefs and tour experiences to host farm to table events. We host RVers and we're working on HipCamp sites and an AirBnB. All with the focus of giving people the farm experience. We're still in the learning/growing phase, but we'll soon offer so much more, and almost no cuts, shares, groups... 100% agrotourism is our goal.
WOW!! We are so honored to be a part of your journey! The Meishans and Laura Jensen are near and dear to us! We are excited to see what happens next for you, please keep us updated! Also, we always encourage diversification. We don’t believe that one single thing is full proof. Agritourism is definitely in the right direction, but just consider what else you can lean on or pivot more to if another pandemic protocol hit and people fear the thought of gathering again. Having some meat or prepared food (or high end value added product) sells could be very beneficial. That doesn’t have to be the bulk of your sells, but maybe consider keeping the door cracked just in case ☺️

Virginia ham became famous back when peanuts were dug by hand. Double digit percentages of peanuts would stay in the ground, so pigs were sent in to finish on the nuts they rooted up. Worked great except the pigs would develop weak bones. I forget whether the mineral shortage was calcium or phosphorous. Simply with a supplement of the mineral the problem went away.
It's unlikely almonds would be exactly the same or the percentage of nuts in the total feed would be as high as the Virginia swine were getting, but worth adding it to the list of questions to ask a Nutritionist.
🔥🐷🔥 Love the history lesson and sounds about right 👌🏾 The practice of “gleaning” works for cleaning up the fields but always fails as a long term balanced feed strategy. That’s part of the reason why I tell folks to have some experience under their belt before they start messing with alternative feed options 😁
So informative! Thank you!! I am really wanting to upscale my tiny farm and this was packed with lots of useful info.
🔥🐷🔥 Grateful to be of service! What was the biggest piece of information you found helpful? 🤩
@@PorkRhyne I have two things that really stood out to me - look for resources like the whey protein or other products that would be thrown away to cut down on feed costs, and how to make money (limiting the cuts available and not comparing your prices to grocery store prices).
Real interesting discussion for a non farmer.
I accidentally found your post after watching “ To Few Acres “ .
Pork Rhyne- your last name caught my attention,
My last name is Rhyne. Family from North Carolina.
🔥🐷🔥 Glad we found each other! “Rhyne” is actually my first name 😂
@@PorkRhyne
Thanks for the reply. It’s interesting that your first name is Rhyne, I don’t think I have read anyone using it as a first name.
May I ask about your genealogy?
And where your family history is from?
By the way, from what I understand the name Rhyne, spelled many different ways through history, Rein, Rhein and others, may have meant “ those who plow with oxen “ . I will relook that up to make sure.
Do enjoy your UTubes, always interesting.

🔥🐷🔥 My name comes from the name of a college, it’s not a family name 😂
My genealogy is unclear… cause slavery 🤷🏾♂️🤣 Mostly African with some European & Native 👍🏾
Thanks buddy! It’s cool we share a name 👌🏾🥳
Your channel is so interesting and helpful. You've convinced me that I can succeed at raising pigs (which I intend to so soon when we buy our new place). Thanks for all of the videos!
We are here for you friend! We will post more of these consultation videos to help people not make the same common mistakes 👍🏾 Let us know what else you’d be interested in learning 😁

I have watched this video a couple of times. What is Brianna’s farms name. I would love to follow their journey and check out their website and products.
I am so happy I found this channel. excellent content and information! what different types of bacon does she have? Bacon sells like crazy here and having other cuts turned into bacon would seriously help us.
🔥🐷🔥 Glad you enjoyed it! I’m don’t remember what types she had but there are many types of bacon. Pork belly is the most common bacon, but other lesser known bacons include: jowl bacon (jowl), cottage bacon (shoulder), and back bacon (loin) which is known as true Canadian bacon… just don’t label it Canadian bacon 😂
ALSO, are you currently farming pigs for profit? 😁
@PorkRhyne I am, but we just started and are currently growing our breeding mangalitsas to full size before we let the boar out with them which is roughly December.
@@plainandsimple1 🔥🐷🔥 Sweet, congrats! Let me know if you’re interested in any farmstead business planning to navigate marketing and profitability ☺️
@PorkRhyne I 100% will be in the up coming future.
I just found this channel, and I’m loving it! Love your positivity and excellent information ❤
Awww thanks! I appreciate that! I work hard to make sure that people get quality education from professionals 😁
@@PorkRhyne Based on what I've seen so far, people who pay attention can use the information and education you elicit in your interviews to generate tangible financial results. I wonder how much money you have helped others make over time. I bet it's significant. Thank you!
🔥🐷🔥 Awww such kind words! Can’t even tell you how much money I’ve helped people earn AND save 😅🤣
@@PorkRhynea LOT. You’re good as gold. ❤
Dude! She must have the marketing down to a science to be able to sell ground pork at $11. I'm part of a local direct marketing FB group, and I see people there all the time selling pastured pork for $3/lb cut and wrapped. Good to see producers getting paid for their work.
🔥🐷🔥 $3/lb is self-abuse 💀 The biggest thing with marketing is to market to the right people. There are people willing to pay more. And for context, she lives in Washington (state) so their cost of living is much higher. Cost of living should be reflexes in the pricing 👍🏾
@PorkRhyne absolutely. In my context, (Northeast Saskatchewan) the cost of living is probably a fair bit lower, and the market is smaller. But I am working on setting up my farm to raise feeder pigs on pasture, and I am tentatively planning to aim for $7/lb hanging weight. It's high enough to make a decent margin, and low enough that I shouldn't scare away all potential customers.
I'm also debating organic certification and trying to decide if it's worth the extra cost and effort to be able to charge the premium price for an organic product.
@@percussionof12 🔥🐷🔥 That’s a great goal to have 🙌🏾 Yeah as someone who was trained to be an organic inspector and works with pig farmers, I can tell you that buying organic feed will eat up your profit margin. Over 70% of costs for pig farming is in feed. Organic is usually twice as much at NonGMO. Also the organic label is for those who have hundreds of sows and can offset the feed bill with economy of scale. If you wanna go organic, see if you can buy waste byproducts from organic certified food companies. You’ll be able to be verified through those means and the feed bill will be cheaper (just make sure it’s worth your time and petro cost). Ultimately NonGMO is great. Don’t fall for the myth that a label will solve your marketing/profit issues. Labels are mostly for brands that don’t have face to face interactions with their customers so they have to “buy trust” through a label.
Make sense?
@PorkRhyne yeah that makes a lot of sense. It's really important to me as a land owner and producer to be caring for my land in an environmentally responsible way, and to be regenerating, not degenerating the land. So many organic practices are a part of that, but I'm still on the fence about whether I really need the piece of paper saying that I comply with a particular set of standards.
What about carnivore boxes? I just started changing my diet to mostly carnivore for weight loss. It is desirable to have variety with nose to tail consumption. That's difficult for a suburbanite.
🔥🐷🔥 That a great idea! However, pork bundles or CSAs still aren’t nearly as profitable as a farm-to-table dinner. Additionally, the farm to table dinner can be used to “up sell” something like a “carnivore box”. It’s hard to make the sell if they haven’t tried the meat vs. if they did. Does that explain things? 😁
Loved this!
🔥🐷🔥 Sweet! What did you like the most about it? 😁
Good Lord, almonds and whey! North Italy is famous for pork because it is so good dairy country. The whey rounds out cheap calories so well, the pork grows fast and healthy. Odd fact for almond husks is it's prime cattle feed! Highly digestible(for cows) and high in fat. Ask for all of the husks as well as the discard almonds. Try not to hop from foot to foot while discussing price because they probably think of it as waste and might pay you.
🔥🐷🔥 Great information! What’s your background, would love to hear more 😁
Just someone widely read. I've been trying to think through how to start a farm. There are houses near the Pennsylvania/New York border that you can buy for the rent of 10 months of a one-room apartment in Brooklyn. A couple hours out from Buffalo, Erie and Cleveland you would have a good market to sell into.
Maybe you're in a better position to get this experiment run than I. Joel Salatin's "Pigerators" are famous in our space, but how many people have indoor cattle feeding operations that need them? However, many towns collect leaves and would love a space to dump them. So the experiment, so could the leaves substitute for the manure/hay that Joel uses to create an excellent compost?
@@rochrich1223 🔥🐷🔥 Gotcha! You’re right about the prices! I think the issue with NY is that the land is somewhat affordable the the taxes are what push people off the land. Taxes can be in the $10,000s for a handful of acres 💀
Yeah that system is good if you already have the infrastructure in place. You can actually do an small paddock fenced with cattle panel (not hog, because of height) and have the leaves thrown in the small paddock. The pigs will use it as bedding and as play-toy material. The softer the material the easier it will break down 😊
As for the lead collection idea, I think that would be a great way to get some community buy-in because you’re serving a need in the community and the interaction alone could allow for you to cross them over to buying pork or at the very least, getting to know more about your farm 😁 You could also sell the pig/leaf compost back to the people who dump their leaves in your property 🥳
