I don’t think that they will render it, but I am sure they could keep it aside for me if I ask. You can contact me directly on my email (I will send you a message)so that we can discuss the amount (kg) that you would like to try out. Also, just to make things clear, we do feed our pigs certified organic grain, but they (the pigs) are always able to graze, so long green stuff is growing (and we have been really lucky with rainfall these past 12 months) Our farm just seems to stay greener for longer than others around it, so I hope that means we are doing something right :) Hi Karen,

I totally know what you are talking about with checking out the labels etc on foods. I feel like some sort of food police when I go over to friends places. Most of them know now that I wont have a biscuit, although when I refuse the first couple of times they thought I was on a diet. Unless they ask why I often wont say anything because they keep pulling things out of the cupboard and going “But this one is ok isn’t it?” I often just loan them the Nourishing Traditions book to help explain. Thanks Rebecca,

I live in the Byron area and would absolutely love to obtain some of your pig fat or lard from you. How can I get my hands on some??? At the moment, I’m rendering down fat from the local organic butchers, but their pigs are grain fed not pastured. Cheers, Karen. Hi Miriam,

As an avid traveller one of my favourite things to do whilst abroad was to always enjoy the local gastronomic delights. I congratulate you both on your big turn around. I too suffered hormonal acne for the last 15yrs but after 5 months of increasing my good fats and eliminating sugar out of my diet I no longer suffer them. Yay! Before my husband met me he did not pay attention to the effect food has on your health. He just returned from New York and during his stay he commmented on how much juice his hosts drink each day. He shook his head in disbelief when he caught himself checking the sugar content on the juice bottle (hee! hee!) and informed them on how much sugar there was in the juice. He is moving up in the world. I too find that when I mention increasing good fats to people that they look at me as if I am mentioning the unforbidden or I am a crazy lady. I am trying to find a short and effective way to respond to these responses. kind regards Rebecca Dear Jack and Miriam,
