Learn how to select and raise heirloom pigs for your own flavorful pork.
Raising a pig for meat is easy to do, even in a small space like a suburban backyard.

Homegrown Pork covers everything you need to know to raise your own pig, from selecting a breed to feeding, housing, fencing, health care, and humane processing. Invite all your friends over for a healthy and succulent pork dinner!
