New arrivals

At long last we have a new litter of pigs.  
Ramble delivered 12 little
Yorkshire/English Large Black cross
piglets onApril 29.  She had them during
the afternoon on a beautiful spring day
so we got to easily witness the births.  It
was like something out of Charlotte's
Web.  Except I'm not going to be
wielding an axe toward the runt.

She still has 10 going strong.  They
started wandering around the pen at
about 4 days old and are eager to dive
into their Mama's feed.  Read more on

What's New at Swallow Acres Farm
  • The feeder pigs that will be ready in June have
    been moved out onto their pasture.  They're still
    a bit tentative about the sudden infusion of open
    space.
  • Organic feed - We are transitioning to organic
    feed for the hogs and goats.
  • Spring planting - Most of the tomatoes are in.  
    Now to the peppers, squash, flowers and
    assorted herbs. The first potatoes are starting to
    flower.
