Your Man in Malawi: All little piggies go to market in the end

Last Sunday was market day for Strawberry Farm. We took our goods to the monthly Lilongwe "farmers' market" and set up our stall selling piglets, eggs, aubergines, lemon grass, lemons, sweet potato vines, popcorn, soya beans, and mustard greens - all organic! The farmers' market isn't used to actual farm produce, so the piglets caused quite a stir. With a total of three piglets sold, the takings for the day were £100, all of which will go to help Nepear in one way or another.

Tomorrow I'm off to do some real farming; travelling to Nepear's village to help him bring in the harvest...
