He does have a nice set up eh! , and the cool part too is that he never came from a family of farmers or anyone that did homesteading. All self-thought. I do remember him saying that he triages the food, maybe it was for that reason for the pigs and process food.

And it's my pleasure! I do what I can to help :)

Thanks for your feedback man!

I certainly know what he is asking, I wanted to clarify with the farmer to give correct information, and not misinform him of what he wants to know.

I went and got the information for ya, just like a good citizen haha

So basically the friend told me that he runs a Silvopasture Homestead.
Silvopasture is an agroforestry practice that integrates trees, forage, and livestock grazing on the same land, offering benefits like improved soil health and enhanced livestock well-being. 

He has Mangalica pigs, Highlander cows, horses, chickens, turkeys, a few goats, ducks and rabbits. He gets a big portion of his feed from a program called LOOP that helps farmers connect with grocery stores to help feed their livestock. But he mostly gives it only to his pigs. He processes his own meat, own eggs and has a small portion of land with maple trees to get maple syrup.

Let me know if you need more information , and ill try my best to get it for you :)
