Learn homestead pork production, from what pigs eat and how to grow it, to on-farm slaughter using tools you already have. Shawn and Beth Dougherty take you on a tour of the Sow's Ear, explaining their low-inputs farming methods, followed by a start-to-finish no-frills hog slaughter with Luke Dougherty. Students help kill, skin, gut, process and wrap two pigs, with active participation in every part of the butchering process; in addition, each student will take home 15# of pork.
