I raise ten pigs each year and am looking for someone who would like to make use of the parts that aren't being made into pork. Hides, heads, blood, etc. 

I'm in Southern VT (about an hour from Manchester and Bennington, 40 minutes from Brattleboro). Please give me a call or email if you're interested. 

There's a room opening up on our small farm, we have 60 acres of shared land and forest, grow winter wheat and dry beans and vegetables, raise a few pigs each year for storage meat for our own consumption, and have a considerable garden to supply a more or less full diet year round, no dairy so far though. Biking or short car ride to South Royalton, on a sunny hillside, good swim spots near by, it's a pretty idyllic place to live! Old 1830's farmhouse with barns and outbuildings, we split the costs of the house and utilities, and share the land in a way that makes sense, you can open up your own plots for your own garden/farm projects, pasture is available for animals, barn space for hay storage, etc.  and you can join in the existing activities for a share of the produce. Room and farm share is 750 plus utilities, available mid april onwards You'd live with one other farm sharer and a rotating crew of helper/visitors in the summer. 

Another bonus is there is a nice hand tool woodworking workshop, good library, and lots of small scale farm equipment. 

There's lots work available in the area in the summers. If you're interested, drop a line and we can set up a time to talk about more details on the phone.

There is also a guest room open thats free for short term farm helpers and visitors, if you are just looking to build some experience and try out the homestead life
