It has been a little while between market days for us… and a lot has been happening behind the scenes at 81 Acres. This season has been about resetting. Learning and rebuilding.

Since the start of the year, I have taken on 81 Acres as a sole trader, running the farm on my own. It has meant wearing all the hats (and boots) while working through a tough six months managing predators and protecting our pigs and future litters. All while staying true to what we stand for: ethically raising pigs in a true free range environment in open paddocks.

It has not been easy, and I've had help from amazing friends, family, neighbours and community. Thank you all 🙏

And through it all, I have had the best little helper by my side 💛 CJ has been keeping a very close eye on our newest piglets… making sure they are growing strong, happy and safe.

Free Range piggies are not for the faint hearted, that's why there are not many people doing true free range piggies. This lil video shows azza and best mate coops fixing the water troughs broken irrigation fittings. This can be a daily occurrence on hot days, pigs are too smart for their own good.

Happy as pigs in mud, background extras.
