Assistant Farmer Spencer Coady Bronk (left) and Pete Lowy herding the escaped pigs.

Last week we had a bit of excitement when a customer came flying into the parking lot in her car to let us know that the pigs were out and running down the bike path on Route 126. Sometimes when we shift the pig fencing to new areas without getting pre-authorization from the pigs, we find ourselves in a bit of trouble. The pigs can be very routine in their ways, and can become used to a certain area of a field… and when we shift the fencing, they don’t quite realize it. Often by accident, they run right through a new fence line we have created because they were either daydreaming or viewing their Instagram feed while walking and thus didn’t see the new fence.

A fugitive pig enjoys one of Lincoln’s trails.

When the pigs went on their walkabout last week, Spencer [Spencer Coady Bronk, Assistant Farmer] had just shifted the fence an hour or so before. When they “escape” and find themselves newly liberated they just go wandering. So, the farmers need to then find them and help coax them back to home base. So after I got word that the pigs were out, I called Jared and Spencer and then raced to the scene to find four pigs enjoying a lovely stroll down the bike path on Route 126 right near Old Concord Road. With wetlands on one side of the path and cars driving down 126 on the other side, it was easy to get them to turn to make an about-face. But then they made a louie and turned left onto the hiking path adjacent to the wetlands. This is when I pulled out my phone and snapped a few photos of the chase down the walking paths. It was equally frustrating and amusing. The reality that the pigs could have explored the 80 miles of paths in Lincoln was ever-present in my mind as I was trying to coax them back to their home field.

Luckily, pigs do not excel at running for long periods of time. When being chased they quickly start panting and get tired and are ready for a snack and nap! So with some running to and fro for a while, we were able to get them where they needed to go. Holding long fiberglass rods to extend our waving arms helped a great deal to coax them along. Thanks to all who called the farm to let us know they were on the loose! Hopefully, it’s the first and last escape of the season.
