We’ll get the owners’ insights into modern pig farming in this video. Katie Pencke and Matthew McDermott had extensive farming experience before buying Alluvial Farms, but they still had to learn how to raise pigs. They started a small pig farm in 2016 with 10 animals, growing to 120 animals once they’d perfected their technique to raise hogs. Today, we’ll hear Matthew and Katie’s advice on pig farming for beginners. They’ll talk through their initial costs, what equipment is necessary for indoor pig farming, and how much land you’ll need for outdoor pig farming.
