Pumpkin event is a smash hit with both people and pigs

November 3, 2021

Composters of all ages had a great time smashing pumpkins (presumably not while listening to the band) to make some tasty treats for the pigs at Codman Community Farms. The Lincoln and Concord chapters of Mothers Out Front organized the Tuesday event (tagline: “Green Your Halloween!”) to raise awareness about composting, save many pounds of pumpkin from going to the landfill, and feed livestock all at the same time.

    What a clever idea!
    But here’s a question…what kind of pigs are those…not the usual Tamworths I see at Codman.
