PEPPA'S PARTURITION PRODUCES PIGLETS!

Mo Bangura

Aug 5, 2021

A proud day on the farm as our fine gilt Peppa gives birth almost live on camera with her trusty pig keeper, John, capturing the first three of four little piglets born at Hope Sakuma!

Trusty John carefully carries the newborn litter in a wheelbarrow to Peppa and piglets new temporary home in the bakery where Mum nurses her newly farrowed litter.

Later, Samuel mixes super-nutritious Azolla with omalu - a biproduct of traditional spirit making - along with cooked up vegetable scraps, just the thing for a nursing Mum!

Please ❤ and share our sustainable farming journey empowering rural women with nature-based solutions to improve nutrition, food security and climate change adaptation in Sierra Leone.
