"She’s being a wonderful mum and I’m sure dad, Stan the boar (first-time dad), would be proud too – but he’s out in his paddock, oblivious to them.

The piglets are utterly adorable and all the staff and volunteers on the farm are wasting a lot of time just watching them."

"The farm is currently open to visitors daily from 10am til 1pm, if you want to come along and have a peep at the piglets. If they are asleep, you may have to try and see them from the car park side of the pens – but do please be quiet around them," she adds.
