Help Build Georgie's House!

Hey y'all! Some of you know the story of Georgie, the beautiful Tamworth Hog. If you don't, I'll sum it up. In October of 2022, my husband Brian was out taking pictures of foliage and was approached by a curious little pig. She walked right up and charmed him and he realized she was from a local farm that sell whole slaughtered hogs. Not wanting to let her end up bacon, we decided to "buy" a whole hog...with a catch. It had to be alive. Not a normal request, but the farm relented.

With a combination of good luck and great friends, we managed to get the pig from Massachusetts to Pennsylvania (in a Home Depot van using lots of green apples and Iggy's bread). My good friend Rob, who runs Chenoa Manor Animal Sanctuary in Avondale, PA, took Georgie in. And then Georgie got big...and bigger...and bigger. Until it became obvious that Georgie was about to be a mama.

So our rescue of one Tamworth Hog turned out to be a donation to Chenoa Manor of 8 pigs total! And that nearly tripled their hog population overnight. Obviously, they were not entirely ready for that kind of spike in residency. So we set out finding a fantastic company that would build a barn for Georgie and her new family on the property. Limestone Builders in Cochranville, PA came through big time!

But this is where you come in! The barn is not cheap, and while we were able to buy a whole pig, we can't quite buy a whole barn! Anything you can do to help would be much appreciated. Because look at this sweet girl:
