In reply to Jessie ullerich. The lard is one of my favorite things about raising pigs! So helpful to have on hand, and so economical if you're raising the pigs anyways--might as well use as much as you can!

Great timing on this! My (not so little) piggies are about ready to process. I’ve been mainly in it for the bacon, but now I’m super excited for the leaf fat!

Such good information! I just bought some wooden cutting boards, so I’m excited to use lard to condition them!

I’ll get there. I know it’s better all around, but I haven’t bought any yet. One thing at a time.

In reply to Shelly M. let me know what you think! (I've never personally tried tallow, but love lard for that purpose)

In reply to Paula.

wow thank YOU for sharing these beautiful memories. I too would say some of my most fondest childhood memories revolve around processing meat on my granddad’s farm… my thoughts as a “modern homesteader”: https://soulyrested.com/counting-it-joy/
