Harvesting Pigs at Home: Traditional Methods, Exceptional Results (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781494240905)

A step-by-step guide to harvesting a pig, with helpful information on everything from tools and equipment to butchering and preservation. The traditional skills described in detail were once common household knowledge, but our industrialized food system has created incredible distance between the farm and dinner plate. You can close the gap by taking up the task of slaughter and butchering of your own pig and along the way you will gain appreciation for the animals you raise and the food they produce. This book will be an essential reference for homesteaders seeking increased independence or urbanites going deeper into the agrarian renaissance.
