We don’t usually read book excerpts for our audio articles, but this one was too fun to pass up. Learn about landraces and how to preserve them by looking at the guinea hog. This is the audio version of an article from the September/October 2021 issue of Grit magazine. For more great articles on livestock and land management, large and small farming, and even bees, go to www.grit.com If you’re interested in workshops about everything from cheesemaking to soil health to building around your property, you can take our online classes  and attend the Mother Earth News Fairs. Grit’s  sister publication is Mother Earth News.
