About The Pig Pen
Pigs have been farmyard companions for thousands of years, and they are far more than their reputation suggests, curious, social, and surprisingly clean when given the space to be. A sow will root through soft earth with her snout like a living plow, while a litter of piglets tumbles around her in a warm, squealing heap. The old wallow beside the sty is prime real estate on a summer afternoon, a cool mud bath that keeps the skin healthy and the spirit content.
