Stone's Throw Farm

The piggies arrived from Iowa with my parents (Craig & Jean) Monday evening, and they were clearly very happy to put their feet on the ground! We ended up getting 12 pigs from a couple of different litters — one litter my parents farrowed at their place, but they’re all purebred Berkshires originating from Bonnie Acres, thanks to my grandpa, Tom Conover. Some of them already love a good back scratchin’ and the others will learn!

The pigs made themselves right at home. Elden took some videos with our new video camera — stay tuned.

On Tuesday, the sun was out again (the pigs knew just what to do — snooze in their shade huts) and after unloading the rest of the goodies my parents brought on the trailer, we were able to actually get a few plants and seeds in the ground. It’s still pretty soggy out there, but a few spots were hospitable enough to work the ground. It feels like I’m finally farming again.
