Orchard pigs!

This past weekend we moved our remaining tamworth pigs to Derby Ridge orchard in Stow. We’ve been hoping to partner with a local orchard for years and we are so happy that Linda has invited us to use her orchard for a testing ground! Our hope is that the pigs will help clear the apple drops and remove pests while lightly rennovating the land under the trees to reduce weed and bramble pressure. With the ultimate goal of a healthier orchard and tastier pork! Sustainable agriculture at it’s finest.

So far so good! The pigs are quite busy rooting and munching away! They are actually making quick work of the first area we put them in. By this weekend we will expand their area and begin opening up new areas for them to explore. Enjoy the photos!
