Our pigs are really living the life this year. They are down at the bottom of the hill where they get access to fresh pasture every week. We move the pigs before they do too much digging and and then we reseed the turned earth with new forage. When we open up a new section of pasture, the pigs get right down to business, running around eating clover leaves and burying their snouts in the soil. Other features of pig heaven include a 1-ton feeder full of non-GMO feed from Green Mountain Feed in Vermont and some nice muddy water holes to wallow in on hot days. I think I’m going to move in…

The Potter Hill website is all up to date with the vegetables we have available this week. The first squash and zukes are coming in, and the lettuce looks amazing. Coming soon – carrots, beets, cukes.
