As others have already mentioned, “Great Article!!” It’s only a matter of time before the vast majority of people are compelled to return to humanity’s agricultural roots. Modernity is unsustainable.

Awesome tale, homegrown piggys are the best there is. Most people have no idea at all what goes into putting meat on the table, and I'm sure Frank had a splendid life!

Great article Brett! It truly explains “the circle of life.” You are truly fortunate to have many good friends and family to help you and Lucie and share the harvest! Love, Dad

Thank you for this article. I'm very pleased that Frank had a good life and died well to enable you to enjoy his meat. Respect to you for looking after your animals humanely.

"Frank" is an odd name for a pig. "Avi" or "Simon" would have been better.

Jealousy is not Your color, my dear farmer - not...in...the...least.

Calling my intelligent, sophisticated, inoffensive and totally PC Balkan humor "antique"...in the words of my favorite activist hypocrite from the cold and dark bosom of Sweden, miss Gretta: "how dare you....." :'(

Great story told with humor and doses of reality. Very educational to me as a lifelong suburban US citizen. Thanks for sharing. I’m amazed you had time to write this with a newborn around!😁
