We have seemingly lots of Guinea Pigs

On the community farm, the guinea pigs occupy a small but magnetic corner, where life seems to slow just enough to notice details. Their enclosures are alive with soft rustling—hay shifting, paws padding, quiet squeaks exchanged like conversation. They gather eagerly when fresh vegetables arrive, tiny mouths working with serious focus, each one distinct in color, pattern, and temperament. Watching them is an exercise in patience and presence; they do nothing quickly, yet nothing feels wasted.

More than livestock, the guinea pigs are gentle ambassadors of the farm’s values. They invite visitors to crouch down, to observe rather than rush, to appreciate care on a smaller scale. In tending to them—cleaning bedding, refreshing water, offering greens—the farm reinforces a simple truth: community is built through consistent, thoughtful acts. In their calm routines and unassuming charm, the guinea pigs quietly reflect the heart of the farm itself.
