We need to allow children to develop their biophilia, their love for the living world, before we ask them to academically learn about nature and become guardians of it.

Happy Monday!!

We woke up to a winter wonderland❄️

The first picture was taken on Saturday, second is today, and here I was thinking it was spring, NOPE, its definitely still winter🤦‍♀️

The kiddos are PUMPED to have a snow day, Mitch and I not so much😆; we have lots of plowing to do and somehow have to get our feeder paddock & trailer unburied in order to get them loaded and off to the processor; If we're successful, we’ll have IPP pork restocked soon🥓

Happy Friday!!

A-frame down! When things get wrecked around here, one of our mature herd sires is usually to blame🤦‍♀️, but not this time; the three very pregnant ladies in this paddock are getting BIG; they popped this hut like a Pillsbury biscuit tube🤣

PIGLETS ARE COMING SOON! We’re expecting 22 litters March-May, that's a 340% increase in production from our previous farrowings; dang!!! Guess I better catch up on sleep now because I'm not going to sleep much this spring😆

I hope you have a wonderful weekend❤️

#farmer Mitch; making chores interesting since 2014😆💞

We enjoyed the nice weather yesterday and checked off a lot from our never-ending to-do list. We even found time to go ice fishing at the pond for a bit🎣

Our last round of piglets are dewormed, ear-tagged, weighed, documented, castrated, and moved into a new paddock to be electric fence trained. They’ll have their Veterinary inspections this week in preparation for going to their new homes in WY, OR, TX & NH🐷

We also limed and added a few more huts to our temporary farrowing paddock because we’re expecting spring litters to start arriving in only a few short weeks😁

How was your weekend? Did you get any projects checked off your to-do list?📝

This handsome fellow is Romeo, our Snickers x Grace boar from Drunken Arrow Farm in WA.

We absolutely adore him❤️ He’s such a lover; he’ll loudly complain if he doesn't get his daily belly scratches and is always cracking us up with his silly personality!

He's also an excellent example of the breed; we’re looking forward to seeing his offspring this year!! So far, we have him paired up with our Chris and Destiny line gilts🐷

“The soil is the great connector of lives, the source, and destination of all. It is the healer and restorer and resurrector, by which disease passes into health, age into youth, death into life. Without proper care for it, we can have no community, because without proper care for it we can have no life.”

— Wendell Berry

Well, the #groundhog saw its shadow last week; #spring will be here before we know it, so it's time for us to get serious about planning this year's forage for all that call our pasture home🐷🐝🐓🦌🦜🦋🐐🐇

More than just a piece of land with grass for animals to graze on, our pasture is an orchestra of elements all working together in harmony to produce the most nutritional forage day after day, year after year🌱

One of those elements includes legumes which differ from grasses in several ways. Legumes usually have small, broad compound leaves, while grasses produce long slender leaves. Most legumes also develop tap roots that allow them to obtain moisture from deep within the soil. This helps them and the forage surrounding them, to survive prolonged periods of drought🍀

For animal grazing, legumes are essential because they offer rich amounts of digestible protein, calcium, and minerals. When mixed with grasses, the nutritional contribution of legumes dramatically improves the quality of our pasture🌱

Legumes also have another unique attribute. Thanks to special microorganisms called rhizobia that live in the root nodules, legumes are able to fix atmospheric nitrogen. Basically, legumes make their own fertilizer. This nitrogen-fixing ability allows us to eliminate the need for off-farm fertilizers🍀

Although much of this nitrogen is consumed by our #idahopasturepigs, it gets recycled back into the soil through their urine and manure, closing the nutrient loop🌱

One of the best ways to establish legumes is by frost seeding, which is simply broadcasting legume seed on existing grass pastures in late winter or very early spring when the ground is going through freeze-thaw cycles. This causes a 'honey-combing' of the soil surface, which helps to improve seed-to-soil contact🍀

Hurry up spring, LET’S DO THIS💪
