This week on the farm...

As we say goodbye to February, the air is feeling more alive with spring energy, and that is trickling into all things around the farm. The longer days and less frigid nights are truly making an impact on the growth of our seedlings, the health and happiness of our animals, and our spirits as farmers. We will be venturing into March with 2 pregnant mama pigs, which we will be welcoming to the farm next week! This is a new avenue for Kyle and I, as we have never assisted in piglets being born, or raising them. In the past we have bought our pigs at a few months old and raised them throughout this summer. We are now transitioning to raising our own piglets, start to finish. We will have a few breeder pigs, and a boar to breed. We are excited for this new avenue as a big part of this move was to close the circuit on outsourcing and bring many things in house, like pig breeding. There is so much more you can control when you are raising the animal from birth, the main thing being the health of the animal. We truly pride ourselves in our animal husbandry and this will be so beneficial for our community as well. 

Overall, new life is all around, and we will continue to soak in the joys of the small things because that's what it is all about! Here's to a wonderful spring ahead, new beginnings, and to all the blooms in between.
