No, they're very, very much NOT for eating..... they are all "pet pigs",
kept on an open farm that takes paying visitors (a farm zoo,
effectively).
It all started with Mary and Dean "rescuing" some pigs that were being
disposed of by (IIRC) an agricultural college, and they found homes for
them on the open farm. Since then, pigs being pigs, several litters of
piglets have followed, hence the adopt-a-pig scheme to help pay for the
keep of the growing sty-full.......  ;-)

PS: I think the Dork Tower mailing list has been informed of Gilly's
existence, and had the URL posted....
