Oh my gourd! Hilarious picture shows micro pig Wilma goes the whole hog for pumpkins grown on muck heap
Greedy for a second helping, Wilma the pig has discovered that good things come to those who wait a year.
The pumpkin-loving miniature pig was pictured with her mouth wide open as she tucked into an autumn feast alongside pals Theo and Ellie at Kew Little Pigs Farm.
And this year’s snacks have an unusual origin, they grew from the farm’s muck heap after the pigs enjoyed pumpkins last Halloween.
It seems last year’s dinner planted the seeds for this year’s feast, with the trio now enjoying the fruits of some very unconventional gardening.
Wilma certainly appeared impressed by the home-grown harvest at the farm in Old Amersham, Buckinghamshire, opening wide for another bite while her companions kept their snouts close to the action.
Owner Olivia Mikhail said: “The pigs loved their pumpkin treats last Halloween, and this year we’ve had pumpkins growing from the muck heap. They’ve accidentally become gardeners!
“Wilma’s face says it all. She’s clearly delighted with the harvest, although Theo and Ellie were making sure she didn’t have the whole lot to herself.
“It’s lovely to see last year’s Halloween treats helping to produce this year’s. The pigs have done the growing, and now they’re very happy to help with the eating.”
The miniature pigs are also getting ready to welcome visitors for a Halloween programme at the multi-award-winning farm.
Halloween half-term activities run from October 24 to 30, including tours, pig brushing, pumpkin decorating and a trail.
The farm’s Halloween Extravaganza follows on Saturday, October 31, and Sunday, November 1, with two-hour family Piggy Pet & Play sessions starting at 10am and noon.
Visitors can brush and groom miniature pigs, meet the goats, follow a Halloween trail with goodies and enjoy pumpkin picking and decorating, with chances to win a pig adoption.
There will also be music, picture opportunities, hot food and drinks. Family event tickets cost £30 for adults and £20 for children.
Adults can join the After Dark celebrations from 2pm to 7pm on both days, with pumpkin activities, a fire pit, food and a bar.
