🐖 Here's a taste of our latest blog post: “Rosebud” A Hog Story, by RWC resident Kerley LeBoeuf.

Setting: Richland, Georgia – population 1,500 – about 20 miles from Plains – 12 of us in the 10th grade. Ideal setting for a “country bumpkin” like me.

At Richland High School, all the boys joined the Future Farmers of America when they got to the 9th grade. Yes, the girls joined the Future Homemakers of America at the same time. That’s just the way it was in 1955.

The FFA offered a “pig chain” whereby three of us each could get a pig, raise her, breed her and return a pig to the next recipient a year later.

I got the Duroc Jersey pig not long after she was weaned. She was beautiful with her maroon hair, and I named her “Rosebud.”

Read our latest blog post by fascinating RWC resident Renate Muller.

Here's a taste: "I was born and spent the first 12 years of my life on a farm high in the Usambara mountains of Tanzania, East Africa. My parents were immigrants from Europe. My father was a Swiss-trained engineer and architect. He met my mother as she was disembarking off a steamer from Genoa, Switzerland.

She traveled alone and was ready for an adventure.
