First Farmers Market

Today (July 4th) was the first farmers market we attended. The market has been going for a few weeks but we didn't have much to sell. Yesterday we got our first batch of pigs back from being butchered so we were able to sell pork. Business was a little slow starting off.

Things did pick up a little later but over all it was a slow day.

Customers can now use food stamps at the market. The market manager has a card reader where they can swipe their card in exchange for the wooden tokens. The tokens can be used to purchase items from vendors and we cash in the tokens at the end of the day with the manager.

One of our pigs is pregant and will probably farrow (give birth to piglets) in the near future. Gestation for pigs is approximately 3 months 3 weeks 3 days. Another bit of trivia: a group of pigs is called a drift!
