We call it the pig farm but this farm has free range chickens
and dairy cows as well.
Ranald sells pork at the local farmer’s market and his product is delicious. This year, on Open Farm Day, the farm received an award for milk quality.
The pigs were the attraction for the children. They have visited this farm for the last number of years and always look forward to the pigs and their antics. Before our eldest granddaughter could talk she could sign some words. As we walked around the farm that year, she signed, “More pigs,” as we went around every turn at the farm.
Again this year, a sow was in a stall with her babies.
Outside, in a penned area,
young pigs of various sizes played and ate as visitors watched. Nearby two pens of older pigs stood together or dug into the cool earth.
Our two year old grandson who enjoys the Peppa Pig cartoons, watched the pigs intently but couldn’t find Peppa anywhere.
Maybe next year.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI love all cute piggies. The chickens and cows are cute too. Great photos.
Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy new week!
Adorable animals. So nice to see pigs able to play and live normal lives before their inevitable end.
ReplyDeleteCute and lovely animals. Last sunday in Rome some persons walked with leashed pigs.
ReplyDeleteNicely clean and natural farm. They have room to roam.
ReplyDeletesweet animals, i love when farms open up to the public like this. momma pig looks exhausted!!
ReplyDeleteI grew up on a farm and we had pigs, so this looks familiar. We only had two or three, just enough to butcher in fall and give us meat for the winter.
ReplyDeleteOh, How wonderful too stop in and find pigs, chickens and alpaca's all roaming free. The colors are lucious too.
ReplyDeleteWhat cute pigs. We saw some pigs digging their holes to keep cool. They are funny creatures to watch.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely. I was 21 before I saw my first live farm animals. I feel in love and would still have farm animals if I only had a farm (sung to If I only had a heart).
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful, wonderful day - for you all.
ReplyDeleteThose piggies certainly seem to be enjoying themselves!
ReplyDeleteI would love going there...love the chicken shot of course. Our daughter cried to bring a baby pig home from the fair one year.
ReplyDeleteMy brother in law grew up by a pig farm. I mostly recall the smell.
ReplyDeleteall creatures are adorable but hen is my favorite
ReplyDeletelooks like those pet by my mother
blessings!
I worked for some years on a pig farm though it wasn't as nice as that one. We frequently had children visiting to see the piglets.
ReplyDeleteLove me some pigs! I'd get one if I had some land.
ReplyDeleteThe pigs are so cute! It sounds like a fun day going to the farm.
ReplyDeleteThat one cow appears to be giving you quite a glare.
ReplyDeleteI can see my grandchildren enjoying a visit like this so much Marie. The pigs always make me smile, they are kind of cute/ugly if you know what I mean 😉
ReplyDeleteThe 3rd picture is adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with DJan - nice to see pigs leading normal happy lives before the inevitable. The mama and babies makes my heart full.
ReplyDeleteI have to say I don't miss watching Peppa Pig lol!
