We awoke this morning to a light dusting of snow, the first of the season.

By noon, the freeze had melted off, leaving the farm in an equally beautiful blanket of foggy quietude.

Except for a brisk walk to say hello to Mauve and the baby Mangalitsas, the WhistlePig family has spent the better part of the day by the roaring fire of the wood stove, crafting the bold, energetic visions of 2015. A tiny, oinking piece of this vision is that we’re searching for a wee pair of baby Mangalitsas to keep Mauve company, and become the newest mascot members of the family.

Keep an eye on #FarmLifeMondays for photos of the new piglets and – in the meantime – the happy, hard-working exploits of the WhistlePig family and our friends.

Cheers!
