Snow!
This morning we awoke to our first snow of the season. A pretty dusting of snow added some charm to the morning chores. We’re thankful for what has been a pretty mild winter so far!
Our two types of pigs had very different views on this snow. Our American Guinea Hogs were out of their houses, pacing the fenceline, eager for breakfast. The new pigs, which are a mix of various more conventional breeds, were cuddled in their house. Even when I went in the pen, they didn’t move. This is our first time branching out from AGHs, so it’ll be interesting to learn more about other pig breeds and their characteristics as we go forward.
Piglets
We have another exciting announcement: on Wednesday Hillary farrowed 9 healthy piglets! These are purebred, unregistered American Guinea Hogs. It was Hillary’s first farrowing, and she did great. She made a nest in one of the houses, and she’s been taking good care of these little guys.
Farm Store Open Tomorrow
The farm store will still be open tomorrow 12-4pm, despite the recent snow. Roads should be clear and passable, so come on by!
