In this episode of ‘The Acres USA Podcast’, Jordan Green of J&L Green Farm shares a practical, no-nonsense approach to using pigs to transform degraded woods into thriving silvopastures. Drawing from over a decade of hands-on experience, Jordan breaks down how to work with a pig’s natural instincts—turning disturbance into a force for soil building, forage growth, and long-term farm profitability. He challenges common “pastured pig” practices that fall short of true regeneration, and lays out a clear framework for what regenerative management actually looks like: intentional movement, rest, recovery, and measurable ecosystem improvement. You’ll learn: Why most outdoor pig systems fail to be regenerative—and how to fix it How pigs can replace expensive machinery for clearing and soil prep Step-by-step insights into converting forest into productive silvopasture Real numbers on stocking rates, costs, and cash-flow strategies Creative ways to monetize land during the transition (from firewood to specialty products) How to stack enterprises—pigs, cattle, timber, and more—on the same acreage Whether you’re raising livestock, managing land, or exploring regenerative agriculture, this episode offers a grounded, experience-driven roadmap to building resilient, profitable systems—without massive upfront capital.
