Come meet some adoptable pigs at...
The Tinicum Arts Festival on July 6th and 7th 
River Road (Route 32) in Erwinna, PA 
Over 140 crafters and artisans displaying and selling their hand-made creations... and a few pigs displaying their hoof-made works of art, too! 
Yes, the talented and gifted PPN adoptable pigs from Ross Mill Farm will be creating their beautiful pig art which will be available for sale.  All money we raise from our Pig Art goes to help support the rehabilitation of abused and abandoned pet pigs so we can find them their forever homes. 
If you can volunteer, even if for only a few hours, we would really appreciate it.  You just might be pleasantly surprised at how rewarding it can be to help out at a PPN event.  Seeing everyone's faces when the pigs start making their masterpieces is truly a delight. 
Please contact Sheryl if you can help at pig3purple@hotmail.com.

Outta my way!  I'm heading to the shade! 
Raven's got the right idea.  Clever girl!

Always provide a shady area for outdoor piggies.  Umbrellas and tarps can create a comfortable spot where your pigs can relax.  Add a kiddie pool, a comfy outdoor bed (patio chair cushions work great) and before you know it, your pig has a little oasis where they can enjoy a summer day.

It's another beautiful day in the neighborhood of Ross Mill Farm.

Tomorrow is the 4th of July and while some people enjoy the fireworks that accompany the holiday, keep in mind most animals and many people do not. 
Please keep your animals safe and bring them indoors if possible.  If you have pigs that live outside, make sure their fencing is secure and gates are closed tight. 
If you live in a neighborhood, please be thoughtful of the animals that live there and any people who have a difficult time with the noise.  Many veterans who have PTSD struggle to get through this noisy holiday.  Think about them before setting off any firecrackers.

If you are a fan of fireworks, many times different towns and cities will set off a big display that is way better than what can be bought at a local fireworks stand.  Go watch them instead.

For your indoor pets, try playing some calming music louder than you would normally, and have some activities for your critters to keep them busy during the noisy time... a busy ball or find a treat toy for dogs, some catnip-y thing for the pussycats, a bundle of timothy grass for the bun buns, and for the piggies try hiding some Cheerios in their blankets.  Cover bird cages and play bird-songs for them. 
There are many great videos on youtube that help provide a calming environment for people and pets alike.  And if possible, put your pig or other pets in an interior room without windows to help muffle the sound as much as possible. 
Please stay home with them.  They are your family and depend on you.  They will feel better if you are with them.

It's never too early for a dip in the pool! 
Especially when you're feeling self-conscious about pig-patterned baldness and just want to relax and feel good about yourself.

It's ok, Louie... we think you look wonderful!

This is Big Mac.  And he likes to attack. 
Think you can handle a Big Mac Attack? 
Well let me lay down the facts, Jack. 
First, he will spot his victim.  Then he will approach with a locked-on intensity that can send fear into the hearts and minds of unprepared individuals. 
When he has come face to leg with his intended (keeping in mind it is his face and your leg, unless you are laying on the ground or doing a handstand), he makes his move.

What is his move, you ask with a barely audible tremble? 
Rubbing. 
He will rub his whole side up against you until you submit to...
giving him a BELLY RUB! 
That was his plan this whole time! 
He just wants a little belly love. ❤️ #bellyrub #bellylove #bigmacattack #petpigs #potbelliedpigs #pigs #pigsofinstagram #adoptdontshop  #savealife #rescue #rescuefarm #animalrescue #animalrights #vegan #vegetarians #vegansforanimals #friendsnotfood #compassion #bekindtoanimals #rossmillfarm #rmf #ppn #pigplacementnetwork #adoption #volunteer #sponsor #donate #teacupigsdonotexist
Even piglets can enjoy sleeping in sometimes.
And by sleeping in, I mean getting up and EATING BREAKFAST, and then going back to sleep. 
Come on! You know a pig is never going to miss a meal if they can help it!

Sophi is in the midst of getting her bed ready for sleep.
She is an expert when it comes to making a comfy sleeping nest.

Look at that concentration on her face!  She is getting in the zone.

We love when visitors come to the farm.  We are open every day, weekends included (although it can get very crowded on Saturdays and Sundays). We ask for a $20 donation per family or group, or whatever you are able to give.  The donated money goes toward caring for the PPN adoptable pigs who are not yet sponsored or supported.  Thank you!

Visiting hours are from noon til 3pm. 
The pigs enjoy all the extra belly rubs they get when people come to see them.  They are quite the experts when it comes to technique and style of the different belly-rubbers, but to be honest... they love them all!

Pigcasso and Izzy know it's best to rest during the heat of the day.  Good time to come in and have a little siesta so you don't get too hot. 
Also, for those of you with white pigs, make sure they have sunscreen on  and lots of shady areas to be in when it is a hot, sunny day.  All pigs can get a sunburn, but the lighter colored pigs are much more prone to it. 
Use sunscreen and limit the time outside during the peak hours, or if possible, confine them to a shady part of the yard when the sun is at its strongest. 
It's July now!  That sun is serious! 
Keep those piggies safe. 💜💙💚 #keepcool #usesunscreen #keepsafe #petpigs #potbelliedpigs #pigs #pigsofinstagram #adoptdontshop  #savealife #rescue #rescuefarm #animalrescue #animalrights #vegan #vegetarians #vegansforanimals #friendsnotfood #compassion #bekindtoanimals #rossmillfarm #rmf #ppn #pigplacementnetwork #adoption #volunteer #sponsor #donate #teacupigsdonotexist
We are happy and excited to team up with Yoga Hive Philly for a fun day of Piggy Yoga! 
Saturday, August 3, with classes throughout the day! 
Check the link below for class times and rsvp-ing.

Here's what YOGA HIVE Philly has to say about this great event:

Pig Yoga is returning to Yoga Hive Philly for ONE last time! These adorable oinkers are incredibly intelligent and sensitive animals making them the perfect candidates for therapy and emotional animal support. Incorporate a Saturday afternoon filled with yoga and pigs and you are in for a real treat. This will not only benefit our yogis with incredible health and happiness benefits, pig yoga is a wonderful opportunity for the pigs to socialize and enjoy the company of humans. 
A portion of the proceeds will be going directly to the pig rescue Ross Mill Farm/ Pig Placement Network. 
Enjoy 30 minutes of yoga with the piggies, followed by 15 minutes to socialize and take pictures with the pigs! This event will be Bring Your Own Mat. There are mats available for rent for $2 at the door.
