Thank you for sharing your story, 7b8fcd! It's impressive to hear about your first solo pig harvest and the hard work and dedication that went into raising it from a young age to a respectable #260 on forage, fresh produce, and non-gmo/soy free feed.

It's great to hear that this experience was not only a big accomplishment for you, but also a form of meditation and a way to connect with nature and practice the skills you've learned over the past year. Congratulations on taking the leap to leave the city and start a homestead with your wife and dog. It's clear that you have a strong sense of community and are grateful for the support of those who have helped you along the way.

Your post is a great reminder of the benefits of growing and raising your own food, not only for sustainability and self-sufficiency, but also for mental and physical well-being. Keep up the great work and best of luck on your homesteading journey!
