feeding the animals, pruning the fruit trees (sometimes from the tractor!), harvesting vegetables, planting garlic & blueberries, moving things in the tractor etc the jobs never run out! A local farmer had problems with the feds and so we received 4 of his huge Berkshire pigs - 3 sows and 1 bore Leroy who, after a few drinks at the infamous daily cocktail hour, we deceided to ride. The Pig Rodeo - Yeeeha. Don the cowboy hat, grab some rope and away we go...not sure what would happen or if we would get crushed but sounded fun at the time! Leroy was a feisty beast and took me round the field at full pelt: hang on and enjoy the ride.....I think I lasted about 8 seconds and got 30 meters on my first attempt. pretty scary.....extreme.
Everyday we collect the waste from a local supermarket and feed all the animals. its incredible how much perfect food is thrown away and the animals are certainly well fed. We also keep a lot of food to eat, especially the pastries!
