Justin Butts is a local farmer and livestock manager raising pigs, making soap, and working at Laughing Earth Farm in Cropseyville. HMM correspondent Corinne Carey visited Justin and his Kunekune (pronounced cooney cooney) pigs on the farm to talk about his career, soap-making, and humane and sustainable agriculture. Listeners can find Justin's Butts Brother Handmade Lard Soap at Laughing Earth Farm's farmstand or online on Facebook.

On the Farm with Justin Butts

Our next podcast guest shines a light on black farmers in celebration of black history month. Justin Butts may be young, but he’s already accomplished an impressive resume. He’s served in the armed forces, studied at the Culinary Institute of America, and launched his own soap business, Butts Brothers, sourcing lard from the Kune Kune pigs that he raises.    In his newest gig as livestock coordinator for Soul Fire Farm, Justin is working diligently to help the community learn more about livestock production, eating meat, and the joys of nose-to-tail dining. This work constitutes the culmination of so many skills and interests that he’s touched on throughout his career including juggling multiple projects, a passion for delicious food, and reconnecting people with the food that they eat. He also shares his experiences as a black farmer and offers advice for other people of color who are interested in getting involved in food system work through farming or other avenues.   This episode was a joy to record! Be sure to give it a listen and check out the work of Justin and Soul Fire Farm!
