Our annual pig slaughter addressed fundamental issues we didn’t even know we had. Indeed, it has become a kind of microcosm of the life we try to make in our home. In this episode Sofia and I share our experience of raising and slaughtering pigs and reflect on how it has been for us a key feature of our homesteading, providing a work that connects us to our bodies, to one another, and to the earth. Whether or not raising and harvesting pigs is high on your list, we think you’ll appreciate a discussion of the unique place of this kind of work in any home.
