The pigs enjoy all the same fruits and vegetables for breakfast and dinner, that we sell in the store. By raising pigs we have far less food waste on the farm, as day old lettuce, and scraps and spoiled or bruised tomatoes are their favorites. Their diet is supplemented with a little grain about twice a week, to make sure their protein intake is correct.
2021, we took on raising four pigs, they finally warmed up to Bennett after a few weeks, and loved their daily visits from Steven. (Photo Above)
April 2019 - Bennett welcomed his new Pigs, Onxy, Mega Charizard, and Mega Blastoise! (We finally moved on from the Moana theme, and on to Pokemon! (Photo Above)
