The Farm and The Pig

Our ward started an activity to help teach us self preparedness and sufficiency. There is a family that is allowing us to use part of their land to have a garden. We planted corn, carrots, beans, pumpkin, squash. We also are raising a pig. It is already big but we are fattening it up. We are doing all of this for the ward Christmas party in December. Families are signing up each day to go weed the garden and feed the pig. Our first time is next week. Our first activity was to make the rows and plant the seeds. It was fun but dirty and hot. Thank heavens I am not a farmers wife. Here is a few pictures of our day.


Garrett and Lance did great and helped a lot.

We finally got Caleb away from playing with friends to help.

Jenna planted carrots

Briauna was a good sport hanging out in the shade of her stroller.

The Pig, who does not have a name since we will be eating him.
