Preparing For Winter

During the last week we spent much of our time preparing the farm for winter. We put new plastic covers on both of our greenhouses. We also constructed new housing for the sheep and pigs in one of the greenhouses. The animals still have access to pasture but can get in out of cold and snow whenever they want. The pigs spend much of their day buried in the straw bedding sleeping. The boar is in with the sows and the ram is in with the ewes. We expect piglets to arrive in late March and lambs in early April.
