Pic is not great. But today I canned up a double batch of a Pork Chili Verde recipe that I got off of @cookingmadly . This is the second time I have canned some and LOVE this recipe! I like to prepare a very little bit of rice to pour over this. Of course using our homegrown pork!

We are still getting tons of eggs. This means we can be picky. Only the cleanest ones come inside for us. The rest the pigs gladly eat for us. Granted. Almost all the ones the pigs get, we would have no problem brining in and eating ourselves ... But still ... Nice having lots of eggs. Still most days we are bringing at least a dozen up to the house. #homeatead #PrattsPigs #PrattsPasturedPork #PrattsPasturedPork https://www.instagram.com/p/B8HJwD9gulu/?igshid=9j77mza340t4

A chicken and her pigs. This chicken has lived in with the pig but since we move the pigs into this pasture to tear it up. Plan on planting a hay mix here in the spring. Anyway, pigs are doing thier job. They haven't eaten the chicken yet, so that's good. The chicken seems happy. She sleeps right in the but with them. She lays an egg every so often that they eat. She eats some of thier food lol. #homestead #tamworth #pig #chicken #PrattsPigs #PrattsPork #pasturedmeat #Pastureraisedpigs https://www.instagram.com/p/B5BeIr1AZSL/?igshid=6c5rqqu453fg

Let the goats invade the garden to get it cleaned up. We will run the 2 pigs we have left through here as well in a couple days or a week or so. #homestead #pigs #goats #kindergoats #PrattsPigs #PrattsPasturedPork https://www.instagram.com/p/B32Z27kgg8V/?igshid=4dhjdzyegfv9

Grace and I heading to @jerome_country_market to drop off pigs. They loaded no problem. Grace is doing a little light reading in the truck this morning. Rick at Pittsford Feedmill let me borrow his livestock nutrition book to get ideas for feeding the other 2 pasture pigs. #homestead #butcher #PrattsPigs #PrattsPasturedPork https://www.instagram.com/p/B32NFINAGnX/?igshid=1irw2j177hxw0

These 2 are making it way to easy. They go to the butcher tomorrow. They are not blocked into this area. They can come and go but they have decided it is a great place to hang out 😀. Later today I will block them into this area. In the morning they will be sleeping in the trailer (like the one is now). I will go out there and just close the trailer doors and head off to the butcher ( @jerome_country_market ). #homestead #PrattsPigs #PrattsPasturedPork #freezercamp https://www.instagram.com/p/B3zjXOwAQL1/?igshid=3p3z7ti46iw1

Our dog Georgie absolutely loves the pigs. Yesterday she let me know that the electric fence had a short and was running really low. She went in to visit her friends. Her and the pigs were actually very excited about this lol and they had a great time. Including in the wallow 😁. YES, SHE GOT A BATH AFTERWARD AND HATED IT. #homestread #dog #mydoglovespigs #PrattsPigs #PrattsPork #PrattsPasturedPork https://www.instagram.com/p/B3U-jDmgk6O/?igshid=mx7emhktfju5

Trying to pig proof Jeni's horse trailer. Taking this down to the pen today. Will separate the 3 pigs going to butcher and this will be thier hut for a couple days until we take them to @jerome_country_market ! "Pig proofing" cause last year they did a pretty good number on this trailer. And Jeni's dad just got done getting it fixed up for hauling horses! She'd be a little bit mad with my pigs destroyed it lol. #homeatead #pig #PrattsPigs #PrattsPork #PrattsPasturedPork #tamworth https://www.instagram.com/p/B2KNpksggzr/?igshid=ayt54vo3sjr6

Got some homegrown Tamworth pork shoulders going into the smoker this morning. Had to run to store real quick and get spices for my homemade rub. THE "PLAN" - is to pressure can this later tonight and add to our shelves. What do you think about doing it like this 👉👉👉👉 Smoking it for hours and hours like normal. Low and slow. But instead of bringing it all the way up to temp (195 F or so) only bring it to say .... 160, wrap it, let it rest, and then cut up to put into jars and let the canner finish it off? Thinking one of these has to be dinner tonight as well 😃! #homestead #pulledpork #smoker #diybbq #bbq #SmokeThatMeat #tamworth #pasturedmeat #pasturedpork #PrattsPigs #PrattsPasturedPork https://www.instagram.com/p/B1lURJkA6td/?igshid=u2ufrfl90buu
