I’ve sent a link to this post to my sister who has a few pigs herself. I think she’ll like it. I’ve also shared it on FB. :)

But I’m enjoying Charlotte’s Web again, so perhaps I should read Willows too, as you recommend it so highly.

Charlotte’s Web has always been one of my favorite books. My all-time favorite is The Wind in the Willows.

I recently got a copy of Charlotte’s Web and I look forward to reading it again. It’s probably been 35 years since I read that book!

She’ll want one too! Check out Giggles’ “modelling portfolio” over at the Martinborough Art Department.

Are you sure this pig didn’t come from my sister’s farm?? (Her dog has a tiara and more FB friends than our town has people.)

I got our Light Sussex from Andrea Sutherland outside of Masterton. She’s in the book, or email me at mail@moonovermartinborough.com and I’ll send her phone number.

I got our Araucana from Mapua Country Trading, but they don’t sell chooks anymore.

I got our Barnevelder eggs from Precious Poultry. I wrote about getting one of our broody chooks to hatch them in ‘Ballad of the Broody Hen‘.

And if you’re looking for rare breeds of chooks, you can check out the NZ Directory of Rare Breeders.

Check out my Chicken Category for more chook stories, and best of luck to you!
