We have 7 acres where we are in Rowan county nc not far from y’all!. Me and my brother own a barber shop and we are looking to switch over to small farming at some point and buy more land we want to raise pasture poultry we just built our first chicken tractor and we plan to get a hand full of pigs as well.. we have about 3 acres of field we can use for the chickens . Hoping to get a call from nc ag soon to get started on what we need to be able to process the chickens. You guys have been a huge help for us to watch .

My wife and I have been watching your videos over the last two days trying to figure all this out. We are in GA so we are doing the research on the laws and licensing we will need here. Trying to find a USDA processor close by is the problem. For us raising the animals isn't the issue. We've been raising for ourselves for years now. I'd love to be able to build a farm up and retire to it with the next 8 to 10 years. It would be a lot of work but at least it would be doing what I want to be doing. Great video, Thanks for the info!

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Thanks so much for watching. Processors are a tricky thing right now. Most are booked up but go ahead and work on building a relationship with one if you can. That has made a world of difference for us. Building up to retire here is exactly what I'm trying to do. It's hard to be patient and most days I'm ready to quit my off farm job but really need it to keep the bills paid and the wheels turning. Good luck on your adventure! Keep us posted on how things are going.

Awesome walk in.

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Thanks

[@virnafarm9059]

We have only processed one set of pasture raised pork and I have had every person that ate it mentioned how much better it was than grocery store pork. Another great video that you have put together thanks again.

[@SheratonParkFarms]

So true. It’s a much better product!! Appreciate y’all watching

[@BigJack1]

Good going Chuck 👏 👌. Seems like you guys keep growing your farm. Proud for you. - Big Jack

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Thanks Jack. We are trying. Appreciate y’all watching

Another fantastic video, Chuck and Sondra. Thank you for all the work in sharing the processing results. I look forward to every new upload!

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Our pleasure! Really appreciate you watching.

[@DrtERotinBasstrd]

Can also freeze some of those femur bones for dogs. $3 to $5 a pop. If your state allows it.

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Nice idea. Had not considered that. Thanks

[@DrtERotinBasstrd]

@@SheratonParkFarms That's what they cost me , lol. Gotta take care o those dogs..

[@tomaswilson2792]

Great video chuck. Love that you go over the details for other producers like myself to learn from.

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Happy to do it!! Hope it’s helpful in some way. Appreciate y’all

[@barryweigle1356]

As always thanks for the video

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Thanks. Appreciate y’all watching.

[@danjenkins9427]

good info. I am sending off six at the end of Sept. I have three already sold as wholes. helps to visualize the room i will need.

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Awesome!! Congrats on the sale!! We have 23 boxes of pork but no bacon yet. Appreciate y’all watching

[@barryweigle1356]

The M Chuck I am really envious of the nice videos you put up I wish I had the time or the want to do that we need this up here in Northeastern Ohio because Cleveland's big Youngstown Pittsburgh's big I would really like to get together with you and talk to you about how to do all this stuff thanks again

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Be glad to talk sometime. Love seeing folks step out and take part in this farming lifestyle.

[@GeniusEvel]

Really appreciate the way you make your videos. So detailed and complete. Really helps others who have lots of questions and so many others on KZbin leave out the important details that matter. I'm going to try and ai my guilt next month after watching your videos. Using the same ai seller. Fingers crossed.

[@GeniusEvel]

Guilt - hahahaha. Stupid auto correct.

[@russlee650]

pigs are not on my radar but my gosh those cuts look tasty.

[@SheratonParkFarms]

The ones we had for supper were awesome if I do say so myself. They really are a better product than grocery store pork. Thanks for watching!!

[@SpearHead1011]

Did you give that guy a box before you left the processor? Looks like he had a box on the pallet still?

[@tonyfalconio5192]

Were you able to do a video on determining the cuts you want from the processor that you mentioned at the end of this video? Thanks for the great info!

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Have not but need to do that. Thanks for the reminder.

[@markgentry9363]

Now for that fresh ham sammich..

[@toddcaskey9984]

Great job , do you guys have a farm store ? If not what’s your thinking on it. Great videos. Does your wife work ? You guys have everything kept up very good. Well keep the videos coming . Todd

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Funny you should mention that. Working toward the goal of a farm store now. Hope to be in it by winter. She works part time in the tax industry with her mom. Appreciate the kind words.

[@padave29]

I know this is an older video, do you guys do pork rinds? In NC, I would think cracklins would be a popular value added product for you, rather than losing all that weight to the processor(?)

[@gregs8710]

I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing your numbers with us, it's very much appreciated! Quick question, how many pounds of bacon would you expect back from these 6 pigs? Thanks again, and keep up the good work!

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Guessing around 100lbs but that’s a pure guess since some of them were a little small. Will try to let y’all know so we share a good full picture. Appreciate y’all watching

[@elonmusktesla8339]

Ay my town we cut and sell every bid from bone to nose that's wat it makes it profitable, but for so many year I have never seen any pig farm, so I'm planning to make it happen, I'll be using only grain for their feed and then grass that's all will it be sufficient for my pigs?but our breed is different it takes 1 year to get around 90-100 kg so what's your point of view please give ideas please this is for my living.

[@danieljackson5422]

How long did it take your farm to start making a profit

[@SheratonParkFarms]

That's kinda tough to answer. The first 2 years we have put everything back into the farm so it looks like a losing proposition. I think we were somewhat profitable last year (year 2) but only by a few hundred dollars. Everyone I've ever talked to, listened to or read says it takes 5 years. I could believe that.

[@solventtrapdotcom6676]

I've been binge watching your videos. I like the idea. But, I still don't see how you get people to pay a 500% premium. I get that it's better, but it's not 500% better.

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Thanks. It’s not 500% better. It’s really only about 374% better. The other 126% they pay is because I’m nice to them when they buy.
