Location: Riverdale Farm, 201 Winchester St.
Date photo taken: 7 April 2013
Riverdale Farm is a small oasis on the eastern edge of downtown and the best part of a visit there is walking around the pens and saying hello to the animals. This is an Irish Tamworth pig, a hardy heritage breed that does well in more extreme climates like Canada’s, but isn’t well-suited to modern meat production methods and so is now listed as Threatened. Riverdale Farm’s animals are all chosen to represent animals that would have been present on area farms at the turn of the 20th century.
