Stone's Throw Farm

I am in love with the piglets, yes, but this farm is not ALL about them. I have been starting some seedlings, too.

Again this year, I’m starting plants at my house in Duluth, since I’ve still been working my winter jobs (thank you, winter employers!) and it’s a little chilly to camp at the farm.

Here’s how the little hoophouse looked when I dragged myself out of bed this morning. I blame my friend Ron, who did several snow dances yesterday to let the universe know that he’d welcome more snow. At least someone’s happy.

It’s not all about the piglets, but that doesn’t mean I can’t post a quick video from my visit to Iowa a few weeks ago. I love the little piglet that looks so innocently at the camera, as if to say, “Who, me? I would never chew on my friend’s tail!” I’ve asked my mom for some updated photos . . .  she reported that the orphans are finally chewing on some of their dry food, so my parents might wean the litter today (I know, it’ll be sad) and stop preparing milk replacer for the orphans four times a day.

Also, we still have a few summer shares available, if anyone is looking to sign up.
