Video: We Toured a Hog Farm!


Onyx and I headed a few hours south to tour a hog farm. We learned about the pigs diets and how well they are cared for. Onyx wanted to know how many slices of bacon come from one pig.. He was excited to hear that over 400 slices come from one pig. Thank you to Seth and every on the farm for their hospitality and the excellent and informative tour.
