In this episode, I talke with Brian MacFarland of Five Forks Farm in Bruceton Mills, WV. Brian and his wife are just at the one year mark of having pigs on pasture. Farrowing has been tough for them the last year, but they are using these experiences to grow and hone their craft when it comes to raising pigs. Brian shares his "failures" in a honest and open manner. I hope this will be beneficial and encouraging to other just starting their pastured pig journey.
