We thought for sure that we would not be getting our piglets this year. We have been looking around for months for someone who sells Tamworth Pigs. Tamworth pigs are a heritage breed of pig, and we had decided that since we sell heritage produce, and heritage chickens that we should stick with all heritage breed animals.
We had called or emailed several places, but most were to far away for us to go. Finally, someone suggested Remick Farm Museum. They told us that they had some Tamworth piglets for sale. I called about a month ago, but they had sold out of the first litter, and the second litter had a waiting list. I was bummed. I had her add our name to the waiting list just in case.
Today, we got the call that Sue the Sow had given birth to eight piglets. Everyone else on the list had already gotten their piglets and our name was next. I was so excited. I told her that we would take two....maybe 3.
Now, we have to build our pig pen. We hadn't even started since we figured we weren't getting any this year.
The piglets will be ready to come home the third week in June.
