Today has been a stunning day - glorious sunshine, blue skies & in the last couple of hours, a wonderful set of Saddleback piglets! They are all now snuggled in the straw next to their Mother, and we look forward to watching them adjust to life over the next few weeks! We have two more Sows left to farrow in the coming days & post some more pictures when they do!

They certainly picked a beautiful evening!

It has certainly got a lot colder over the last couple of weeks, but one group who don't seem to mind at all are the Saddleback Pigs. They have been busy harvesting the fallen cider apples in the orchard, and causing a right mess in the fields above the house!

They also had a day out at The Duchy School in Bradninch. Peter & Henri took a couple along for the children to meet - their current half term project is on Food & Farming and so hopefully they learnt a lot too!

Fly, the young puppy, was keen not to miss out on the fun either - she just loves playing in the puddles at the moment - she has taken particularly to attempting to eat water!
