Using pigs on rotation, managed with lightweight portable electric fence, has been the cornerstone of turning our abandoned block from a worn out fire hazard, to a rich rolling pasture. We are amazed at the transformation those pigs have worked on the property in just 12 busy months, and we'd like to share our experiences and lessons learned with you.

FREE PROVISIONING GUIDE
Pascale has put together a FREE 40 page Provisioning Guide. The Guide explains and provides examples of how we can travel eating a variety of healthy and delicious meals for up to 6 months at a time on our tiny boat with no resupply. There has never been a better time to start learning how to increase the food storage potential of your home. I hope this guide will inspire you to make more informed long term provisioning choices for the future!

    You've both done a great job bringing that place to life and it looks superb. All the best. Hope Pascale is doing well.

    11:15 I'd like to share an exception to the general rule that pigs won't touch electricity. My mother knew a farmer that had a nut tree with an electric fence around it. There was a pig that would break through that fence to get the nuts. It would run full tilt at it from some distance, start squealing in anticipation of the pain before it got to it, and just barrel right through it. After the shock wore out, it would get up and start eating nuts. They ate that pig first.

    Troy makes it all sound so straightforward. It all makes a lot of sense after learning it here.

    Hi Troy & Pascale, interesting how you manage your pasture with the help of the pigs, they’re like mini bulldozers. And Pascale, hope everything is going well with your pregnancy, waiting to know if boy or girl. All the best to you both, take care, from the UK.
