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.             

 


Bennett continues to grow like  a weed on the farm, and enjoys caring for his pigs year after year. In 2022, he welcomed Sunshine, Cloudy, Lightning, Tornado, and Thunder. New Farmer Steven fell in love with the animals of farm life, and has taken over their daily care. (Photo Above)
