Graduates of the Finger Lakes Permaculture Institute's permaculture design 
course want to demonstrate that young farmers with intelligence and drive but 
no start-up funds or land can "crowdfarm" their way into a successful 
business.

They are offering a lifetime discount for any donation over $10!

The Pigstarter project is to provide the means to create food sustainably in 
a small-scale, highly productive agricultural system. 

They will supplement our their own background in pig production with 
techniques from Joel Salatin of Polyface Farm, Sepp Holzer of the 
Krameterhof, and other leaders in sustainable and permaculture-based animal 
husbandry. Rotational pasturing, on demand water, consolidation of local food 
waste systems, and a finishing on apple pomace will yield a high-quality, 
locally grown pork. 

When the season ends they plan to create a how-to guide that can assist other 
*entre-pig-neurs* in starting pork operations in their own areas.
