    Episode 153 - Raising Pigs to Feed Others in Louisiana

    In this episode, I talk with John Romero who has a farm in central Louisiana. John has a desire to see more people have access to better quality food. So much, that he donates a large portion of his farm products to local food pantries and rehab facilities. We have a great conversation about how important it is to teach others about cleaner foods.

    Episode 148 - Garbage Feeding to Reduce Feed Cost and Produce More Affordable Pork

    In this episode, I talk with John Lengyel of Hogman Farms. John uses post consumer food waste as a primary source of feed for his hog operation. This process can be controversial in the pastured pig world, but John has some compelling arguments as to the benefits of this feeding method. We take a deep dive into how he manages the waste material along with all the details of state regulation associated with it. There are two videos on Youtube that document his setup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfktSEpTHC8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h091gCrXQ1U   SPONSOR: The 2nd Annual Homesteading-ish Conference https://homesteading-ish.com/ Also, join us for discussion of all things pastured pig on our new facebook group, The Pastured Pig. https://www.facebook.com/groups/thepasturedpig Please consider supporting us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thepasturedpig If you would like to know more about us here at Red Tool House Farm or would like to suggest topics for future episodes, visit us at: https://thepasturedpig.com/podcast/
