The blackberry harvest is winding down as the tomatoes are starting to ripen. With hot and dry conditions the transition to summer is well underway.
In other farm news, we’re harvesting and threshing the grain from our heritage wheat experiment. And we had our first farm piglets born this weekend! The birth went very smooth for this first time mother and the now 5-day old piglets continue to thrive.
10 piglets, 1 day old with first time mother.
