Farm to Table in Western Kentucky 

I am so glad to see a video talking to a true farmer over a production farmer. I agree it is not the greatest way for mass production but it really is a best meat to taste ratio. Having raised and sold cattle this really does bring a good view to the table for those that have never done so. Keep up the awesome videos and keep smoking them meats!

Nothing against all your other videos, I’ve learned a lot, but this is by far the single most important video you have produced. Excellent!!!

Am i the only one that noticed the huge pig fart at 4.59s lmao 🤣 you can see Jeremy dipping his head and trying not to laugh 😂 😅

Great video! Thanks for the content and info!

Love that the farmer and the Porter rep seem really proud of what they're doing

I’ve learned a lot from your channel but this was my favorite video and the most informative. Great stuff!

Enjoyed the video! While I have family and friends who raise critters this way and thats where we get our meat from, I like seeing this type of farming! Theres a big difference for taste, quality of meat, and health reasons for pasture raised pork and beef! I liked what he shared about the aging too! Very slick marketing term, 'wet aged'! Thanks for sharing Jeremy!

Outstanding talking to passionate farmers, just a great attitude, cheers!

Love to see you stepping up your content game. Great video keep it up!

4:58 I would've had to stop recording from that. Good work keeping a straight face. Great video as always, ethical and responsible farming is the way to go.

Excellent work. Thank you for this video!!

Great content. Keep making those great connections.

Keep up the good work Jeremy. Your channel is always entertaining and informative. All the effort that you and your wife do is much appreciated.

This has been a very interesting video. Thanks for all the great content.

Love It! Thanks! Can’t wait to see the rest of the videos! Maybe even order some meat for my Birthday!!!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.....that's what we need the true way of raising food

Absolutely awesome 👍🏻

I really enjoy your videos.

I'm going to watch this later. It's so cool!

Greets from Germany! Cheers, keep it up!

Awesome video!! Thank you

Love the video. Iv bought a few things from porter road and their stuff has all been great.

Best video you’ve done in my opinion. Bravo.

Phenomenal video

Well done 👍

You’re in my old neck of the woods. I would love to try some of his meat. I found a similar farm that’s local to me in East TN and their meat is great!

You need to make a brick pit and review it. a good brick pit can be made for $400

These guys are great, It is the way my family used to raise animals when I was a kid. And at the end the video coverage of the butcher shop, I could smell it. old memories.

Love your videos

Great video

Keep it true to the people 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Great video. i will pay more for this product for sure

I love seeing the cows playing!

All those scenes where the cows just stop and stare as if they're wondering if they're going to be on the next brisket video you do-

Absolutely loved this! I'm actually in the process of recording something similar in the uk 🇬🇧 I think it's very important to know and understand what goes into the up bringing of our animals / food. I'm going to go ahead and subscribe to embers TV so I can check the rest out! Great video for sure 👌 👍 👏

IIRC, you've shared that you grew up Amish. Did your family have livestock when you were growing up? This is a great video. Thanks for sharing it.

Great vid, awesome to know where the meat comes from. They started charging shipping to the west coast so i just buy now when its on sale or use my military discount. I love their special cuts like pork jowl, wings, brisket, etc. but they should bring back lamb/pork/beef necks!!! Just a great source of meat online and taste great. Those are some happy go lucky pigs😁

Very informative video!

Great, great series! Should be more mention of how much commodity beef is brought in from across the pond in whatever grotesque ways then “finished” here.

Fantastic to see a bbq expert look backwards... bravo

Love their products.

I'm curious if they only raise calves they buy or if they breed cattle as well. They only mention purchasing calves, which isn't uncommon but probably adds a quality control element that you don't get with live births. Like Twins, where even starting with great genes you get an Arnold and you get a Danny Devito,

Some good looking yorks

We raise Heritage GOS Old spots in Missouri! Come see us. Thanks for supporting farmers ❤️🐷

My entire meat supply comes from PR. I've tried the pork ribs and chicken but I'm sold 💯 on the beef products.

Love this! Quality over quantity, especially when it comes to animals which is why I usually source my proteins from local butchers.

Please consider putting the rest of your video on RU-vid. :)

I like this farmer.

My dad is a farmer, and I know he's barely scraped by my whole life, so respect. Porter Road makes a good product, I just can't swing it right now.

Might have to take that discount code and pick me up a thors hammer! Awesome video!

Good Deal

4:58 I think Jeremy is trying to contain laughter with the flatulence going on.

Please do hogs. They're such a problem and even more than that so many of us are hunting them for so many reasons. And there so many misconceptions about their meat. I'd very very very gladly watch a whole series on wild hogs of varying kinds. Also, farms that do regen farming like this. White Oak Pastures is fucking amazing, that would be an amazing collaboration. Please do both.

Thanks! - Wish PR was in Canada! - Cheers!

I enjoyed the video. Very informative. Thanks. I sent a message asking about the amount of content of direct heat cooking on Embers TV. I would appreciate a reply when you have time.

This was so interesting I'm not even upset it was a 25 minute Porter Road commercial.

I looked into ordering some ribs 30 bucks of spare ribs not too bad. The shipping is $50!!! That's a problem.

Industry standard after slaughter for beef carcass is hanging or “dry aging” 10-14 days. Kind of misinformation that JP is implying commodity beef does less than that. You should really be going for at least 21-30 days before you notice a meaningful difference in flavor and texture. PR using the term dry-aged for 14 day carcass hanging is on par with the labeling issues JP points out for natural or wet aged IMO. They are doing some great stuff, just wanted to draw some attention to the marketing play.

This is great for folks that can afford the cost of these free range cattle. To feed the masses of people this would not be feasible for the large meat packers. Most Americans want to go to the store and buy an affordable product. To produce meat for the masses they are much more confined and the chances of illness is much higher and that's why they give the antibiotics that they do.

15:00 - 16:00 This is actually happening everywhere. Now is a good time to undo some of the harm that was caused by corporate greed. Those that remember good food is still alive, and can push for food to be good again. If we wait too long, no one alive will know good food from bulk manufactured food. I grew up in a time where food was of high quality. Fruits had intense flavours. These days, all that I remember is mostly gone. My kids (both teens now) grew up with bland food that causes health issues. I can only pray that by the time they reach my age, the industry has changed so much that they can taste food as I tasted it in the 80's. The way it should be. Unfortunately, Porter Road is not available to me. But being in South Africa, I do have access to quality meat from time to time from small independent farmers. Downfall is I need to buy a whole cow. From time to time we do club together and do that. At least our meat is vastly cheaper than those countries in the north. Locally it is easy to spot the mass producers as we only have 2 main brands. Beef Cor, and Karan Beef.

I really like the idea of farm to home meats, naturally sustained. There are two barriers, im willing to pay more for a better cut of meat, the price sometimes is an issue. The other is sourcing, while I live near many many farm counties, i can only find the farms at the market on Saturdays, from 7am-2pm. Makes it a touch difficult to actually buy local. Not sure if its some weird regulation or something the govt has in place, or they just cannot compete with the massive meat ... farms, for lack of a better term, and get space on the local grocery store shelves. If it's the latter, i hope someone gets their head out of where you think it is, and gets more sustainable products readily available to a schmuck like me. Vegetables included, i don't care if a carrot, or onion looks a bit strange, does it cook and taste like either of those? Good. That's all i need it to do. Society seems to really hinge on perspective . Ugly Vegetables are just as good. Use them the same way as you would "pefect looking" ones. Anyhow. Rant over. I hope you all enjoy your day, take care.

I grew up on a corn/soybean farm in northeastern Ohio. My Grandfathers farm. We always had 2-3 cows wandering around 30 acers with 6-8 pigs, 6-8 goats and 20-30 chickens and rabbits. We had the chickens and rabbits separated because otherwise they'd be killed by the other animals. But past that they all lived together and looked happy about it. I have never had meat anywhere that could compare with what my granddad raised and slaughtered on his corn/soybean farm. OC I can't afford wagyu or the high end stuff but I've spent a few hundred dollars on a dinner for my wife and I that I was disappointed in because it just wasn't as good as my granddads was.

I’m far from a vegetarian. I grill 3-4 times a week. But man oh man I hate seeing the animals being animals. Sometimes you just forget 😢

Unfortunately, factory farms, grain fed, antibiotics etc. are necessary to feed the earths population. Without them, the masses would starve. Nevertheless, like Jeremy replied, we are fortunate to have options when many others do not.

where are those bone in pork bellies at ??????

04:57

Oranges coming from south America tastes like cardboard because it's summer in the USA

I"m all for quality of quantity, eating better and eating less tastes better and is better for you.

I was the 1,000th like! What do I win?

-I visited a bbq video- -I was shocked by what I saw in this bbq video- -bbq video gone wrong- -One crazy trick to watch a bbq video- You're the best bbq a sister could ask for

I watch this channel because I thought you just liked fields but, right off the bat you upset me.

Headphone warning with the music just after the intro.

You get what you pay for

I bought a box of some stuff from them. The brisket was THE WORST brisket I’ve ever done. They trimmed the hell out of it. Entire fat cap, gone. Gashes all over the place. Steer clear from Porter Road. The ribeyes were nothing special either, no dry age taste despite advertising they were. Tasted no different than my local grocer ribeyes.

Keep to cooking food. Bearded butchers have this covered. Not trying to be rude/mean. You have helped me with fire management and the different styles of smokers and it’s helped so thank you for that.

Jeremey looks so disinterested in what these guys are saying. Maybe he doesn't understand it but he looks like he is going through the motions.

Welcome to permaculture! The real "cost" of industrial agricultural is having have long-term effects & mankind will have to learn to farm this way or we'll all die from the climate crisis & associated illnesses.

4:58 Your voice is muffled, but your breathe smells the same. 😬

Would we all want ethically raised meat? Absolutely. Can we afford $40 a lb for it. No. I am not a fan of this type of propaganda, very interesting to see a farm to table farm though.

James Peisker is obnoxious! A real zealot.

Great video
