If we were able to work with you to get you some truly amazing Meishan pigs this season, you're all set with the registry. All breeder pigs have been input into the registry, and I know Tracey is on it already sending out emails to new owners. Please be on the lookout for an email with information about your Meishan pig so you can complete the process and embark on, or continue, this wonderful journey of raising the oldest breed of domestic pig in the world and helping to conserve the breed.

Clean shoes, muddy shoes, farm shoes. I should know the difference by now.

My number 1 most used item on the farm. Seriously, every animal knows the sound of the feed in the scoop as I scoop up feed and they know the color. The turkeys come running and the Meishans are ears flapping in the wind as they run to greet me knowing good and well this scoop means they are getting breakfast or dinner.

I can usually get anything I want with a red scoop in my hand. Many of my Meishan’s will follow me into the trailer with a scoop. Unfortunately it’s almost never the ones I want to follow me. We have probably a dozen of these red scoops. Some broke so Mr. Pig Wing went a little overboard grabbing several so he never had to use a broken scoop again.

I did have the clear ones with measurement markings. Those faded FAST. I also found those to not be as consistent for my feed in weight.

I know many states are stepping up and funding SNAP. My state is funding SNAP during the shutdown.
If you’re a federal worker and you’re going to work in the military or in another capacity to help our country run and you’ve got a family to feed and things are tight this month feel free to message me and we will send you home with some Meishan pork & eggs. We can’t feed the world, we can’t feed the nation, we can’t even feed our entire community, but I’d be crazy to think we couldn’t help a family still being mandated to work for us and not getting paid.

This morning my kids all sat around the table and ate their breakfast. Like every morning they ate until they were full. They smiled and laughed and they knew no stresses of life. Thats the way I believe it should be.

Life gets hard for everyone in different ways. Nobody has it harder or easier. We go through it all differently and when we do it together it helps lessen the load.

So, if you’re a federal employee who’s not collecting pay and still going to work and you need a little something to help get you through, reach out. We’re happy to give what we have to share.

Private message or email: brooke@pigwingfarms.com if you or someone you know LOCALLY (central or NOVA) needs assistance this month with a couple of meals.

**this is currently for federal workers only as SNAP is being funded by state funds while the federal government isn’t funding it.**

What’s the most used equipment on your farm?
I have 2 things we use the most. One we use daily. I will post that next. One we use frequently. I would say we use it at least monthly, but I think we use it more than monthly.

We use this when we’re loading pigs. We use it when we’re separating piglets for ear tagging, castration, sending them to new farms, weaning, photos. We use it when we are moving pigs from one area to the next, if the vet needs to come by. You name it we use this board.

Yes, I could make my own. I don’t for a few reasons. This one is DURABLE! We’ve had our boards since 2022 and aside from them being muddy they look new. These are very light weight so when I’m pretending to be in farmer Olympics these make it easier for me. I don’t need to get more worn out trying to sort pigs. They hold up in the sun, the rain and the weather. They have easy to use handles in multiple areas. We even use these when we did a cruddy job putting a fence up (like I did yesterday) and needed them to not see through and put a board up as a temporary fence solution.

This is a piece of equipment I couldn’t live without on my farm. I also feel safer when I’m loading the pigs with it. They actually all know the board. It never hurts them, but they know when I have the red or purple board it means it’s time to move. It’s honestly so easy to move a pig with one. I HIGHLY recommend this to everyone raising pigs.

We’ve got 4. 2 purple and 2 red. They are the same. I find the red to be slightly lighter so that’s the ones I grab first.

Kane Sorting Panels are light weight yet extremely durable, designed to move animals with ease. Rounded hand grips on the top and side make for easy handling. Tough yet easy to clean.

I collected all this saffron then I put on a paper towel in the kitchen to dry out before storing. I actually thought I would freeze dry it. Then my family “cleaned” it up and threw it away. I’m not crying 😭. There will be more.

You requested, we responded, and we will continue to listen. New sausage varieties will arrive in a couple of weeks. We are also developing additional "clean" sausage flavors to maintain a diverse selection for you.

Furthermore, we are excited to introduce a new product that we are eager to offer! Our trusted processor has informed us of this option, and we are prepared to bring it to Pig Wing Farms. It will be available in a couple of weeks.

Please visit www.PigWingFarms.com for new options. In the near future, I will update the website with much-needed photos.

Cleaned out the farm truck today. It’s clean and we’re almost ready to rock n’ roll with the one heck of a Meishan crew. Excited is an understatement!

Jenny is coming in after all the work has been done to inspect.

It was supposed to be an easy day. I was just supposed to run outside for a minute. I wasn’t supposed to get dirty, let alone covered in mud. Mud and tree limbs in my hair, mud on my face, mud on all my clothes, hay in places that can never be unfelt. Be a farmer they said. It will be therapeutic they said. Working with the animals brings joy they said. And that’s all true…until the nonsense happens. I told my husband I’m giving up. I am just going to grow vegetables. So much easier.

Thank your farmer and support them. I promise those fees for that meat aren’t just because there’s a greedy farmer. It’s because the farmer has a broken toe, frost bite, who knows what infection from mud bath that I’m certain isn’t sanitary. 🤣🤦‍♀️🤢

Tomorrow is a new day.
