Our pigs have been the source of so much laughter and enjoyment over the last year. In addition to their piglet antics and the lovely birth experiences I’ve been able to witness, they do more for us than provide enjoyment!

They work for us…

And they don’t even have to try!

A few months ago we set them up in an old tobacco field on our land, that has been growing intense, thick pine trees and blackberry bushes for the better part of a decade. They have slowly moved through that field in electric fence paddocks, clearing and eating bushes and trees and opening up the earth for grass and other pasture loving plants to grow. They have successfully cleared a large enough area for us to have a new garden space next year. Exciting!
