It’s been cold this winter at North Plain Farm, and, while the pigs seem to enjoy rooting around in the snow from time to time, they definitely like spending most winter days keeping warm and dry. Since the pigs have access to a greenhouse and a large outdoor paddock, they can get the best of both worlds on any given day.
Every few
days we bring the pigs a fresh round bale of hay and spread it out for them in
the greenhouse, and, for them it is an event that is not to be missed. Every
pig runs inside while we roll it out and for the next few hours, they dig
around to find all the good parts they want to eat. After they’ve tired themselves
out with that, they curl up and take a nice nap in the warm greenhouse.
