This time, I would like to talk about asparagus farms.
When you hear the name "Asparagus Farm" for the first time, do you think it's a vegetable farm? Many people think that this is a farm that raises piglets.
The name originates from the fact that the area where this farm once stood was an asparagus field, so the common name remained.
Piglets are introduced here from Hanaizumi Farm once a week.
Piglets that are 15 to 30 days old are transported in 4-ton trucks, and this movement is extremely stressful for the piglets.
Therefore, I am very careful when driving my car and try to keep it running smoothly.
Even when I open and close the door, I do it quietly so that the piglets are not startled.
The heat is also a cause of stress this season.
We are taking measures to prevent the temperature in the pigpen from rising as much as possible.
We work hard every day to ensure that the pigs raised in this way can be safely delivered to everyone's dining tables.
