Garden salad for the pigs

Through the generosity of a couple of local families, we acquired about two pickup loads of vegetables plants for the pigs. Some of these even had some produce left on them. We cleaned out their organic gardens in exchange for keeping all the plants and leftover produce. After only a couple hours of work everyone was happy.

The pigs were especially happy when they received all the goods. We simply dumped all of the produce and plants in the pen and let the pigs dig through it at will, which they did! They rooted around in the pile of  plants for hours, until the pile had almost disappeared.





Here's a quick video of the pigs devouring the green salad.

  1. UPDATE: the garden salad was officially gone by this afternoon. They ate 90% of it and still went for more pig food!
