Book Synopsis

What is it about the humble pig that holds such a special place in our hearts?

In a frosty field on the longest night of the year, eight little piglets snuffle their first breaths, and jostle close to their mother to feed...

So begins the life of the farm animal that you think you already know. But think again...

This is the magical account of the life and times of a gang of Saddleback pigs, from one of the most forward-thinking organic farmers in the United Kingdom.

Helen Browning shines a light on the secret lives of these mischievous, intelligent, and inventive animals - and shares her vision for the future of ethical farming.

If you liked The Secret Life of Cows and A Shepherd''s Life, you''ll love this evocative and illuminating tale...
