Dinner on the farm & Weaning Piglets

Dinner on the farm & weaning piglets

Terron and I weaned another round of piglets this week. Weaning is the process of separating piglet from mama. This may sound like a hear wrenching process, and it can be. However we wait until the piglets are much older than a ​conventional piglet operation. Allowing piglets to be with their mamas for ​8-10 weeks.

By the time we let the curious piglets walk on to our hog cart, the mamas hardly seem concerned. The ​day of weaning is full of ​new and interesting places for the piglets to explore, and the mamas spend most ​of their first day without piglets napping in the ​shade.

Our first Farm ​Food Friday was awesome. Racey and I were watching the forecast closely, and we had rain and wind ​during the day on Friday and ​just when we setup the sound equipment for the band the sun came out. 

We are so proud to host our community on the farm and share food and music together.

Thank you to everyone who came out. Thank you to my fellow band members: Chad, Jay, Nick B and Nicky G. You guys make my music go round.

Thank you to Racey, Sheneka and Terrian for a delicious dinner and all the work and prep that goes into that.

Thank you Lovett and Layton for stealing the show with you ​ending song. ​If you didn't hear it you'll have to come back for the next one:)
