Luke Groce, of Groce Family Farm joins me today to discuss the details of pastured pork production. Luke started with a market garden and has grown to added pork to his offerings. In this episode we get into the economics of how much you can expect to earn from one pig and the associated costs with it.
We touch on briefly why pastured pork is superior to dirt lot pig farming, but in all honestly, we could devote a whole show to this subject. The short of it is that you are raising better pork and paying less in feed while actually adding value to your land.
