{Watch} Piglets At Play

posted on

July 23, 2022

Our Sows (female pigs) Sugars and Daisy (the boys helped name them can you tell ;) both recently had piglets!!!


Most baby animals are pretty cute but these little black and spotted piglets were especially so!


I had been trying to get some good pictures of them to show you but they had been eluding my efforts. You see sows can be very protective of their young and lets just say that scheduling a photoshoot for my enjoyment was not high at all on their sow to-do list haha. 


But every once in a while I am just in the right place at the right time! Walking through the pen one day the sows were off having breakfast when I came on a set of the piglets playing. 


It was one of the cutest things I have seen on the farm in quite a while!!!





Shortly after the sow ran over and informed them not to play with humans and they marched off with her but I was pretty excited to get to catch them on video playing like that!

Our Hens Today

What did you think?One of my favorite things about the hens is just how friendly they are. They run up just to see what's new and haha to see if I scared up any bugs. It's not just great for the hens and the land though its also great for the families who enjoy our eggs. The result of this truly pasture raised regenerative model for raising hens is some incredibly nutrient rich eggs! Our growing family eats eggs for breakfast nearly every day but in spite of our 5 children's ravenous appetites for our eggs right now we have a seasonal abundance (it happens almost every Spring) and so we are offering  Free Eggs For A FriendThey are completely free.All we ask is that you don't use them for yourself, but instead give them away to family or friends that are really interested in nourishing their family well. It's a win win. They get to enjoy the best nutrient rich eggs available and get a connection to their very own farmer!Give Free Eggs For A Friend ==>NOTE (If you are currently utilizing our home delivery option for getting our pasture raised eggs since you can't order them singly, if you give one to bless another family just email myfarmers@fedfromthefarm.com and we can credit your account for you :)Thank you for supporting and sharing about our pasture based farm. It is an honor to serve you from our farm's bounty!
