I wish I could do this every day. I used to have about five acres to maintain, along with pigs and chickens, and I was in the best health of my life, physically and mentally.
Gyms don’t give me the satisfaction of a grueling task that can be completed.
If you do get pigs seek out an heirloom breed. I had Berkshires and not only could I sell the meat at a premium, it was so tender and marbled it was like making ham out of veal.

I got chickens a couple weeks ago and I’d love to get a couple pigs in the spring because pigs have the best meat.
Pork chops, ham and bacon from one animal?
Not to mention filled to the brim with lard.
Yeah, my heirloom pigs had thick lard layers. Kept me in deep frying grease for a year.

That sounds fantastic.
I’ll have to look into it.
