Your Man in Malawi: November 2015

It's been a busy couple of months at Strawberry Farm. The litter that Strawberry gave birth to at the beginning of September are now boisterous little pigs who are more than ready for a new home. We'll keep two, and sell the rest on to friends and neighbours. The Lilongwe Farmers' Market at the end of October was a great success - we were selling our usual selection of organic vegetables and advertising our new chicken coop building business, which garnered much interest. Nepear and I have just spent the weekend on a beekeeping course, so we'll be busy over the next few weeks preparing hives in the hope of harvesting some Strawberry Farm honey in due course (the hive we put up in the garden way-back-when remains stubbornly empty)! The rains are on the way, so Nepear will at least be relieved of watering duty for the next few months.
