We have officially started as Agricola Farm LLC today, April 1st. Our first visit to the farm was welcomed by 3 lambs born the night before. We walked around the land and identified where we want to place the pigs and redefined our rotational plans. We have also prepared the shelters for the piglets. They will have an awesome space in a large barn and access outside for the first week as they are getting trrained in respecting the electric fence. Once they learn, we will move them to the pasture. Their first job will be to till the land by the river so that we can plant sweet potatoes for them - they will then be given the fun job of harvesting the potatoes in the fall.
