Pigs Are Good at Leftovers

Four Legs Farm is lucky to have Community Compost Company as our neighbors. Twice a week they drop off a 48 gallon bin of slightly damaged produce as treats for the piggles.

Their favorites are cabbage, kale, apples, peppers and carrots. They don't like sweet potatoes that are too big to take a bite out of, citrus or celery. But those are fun to play with anyway. Sometimes they get fancy things like papayas! I'm happy for them to have this much diversity in their diets.

I still feed them non-GMO grain from Stone House Farm in Livingston, NY. I need to make sure their calorie intake is consistent and that they're getting enough protein. Nobody ever got fat and happy on cabbage and apples alone.
