UNIVERSITY FARM

The Pink Pig, our "Rustic Cottage"

Perhaps the most famous building at Squire Valleevue Farm is the Pink Pig, which served as a pig sty during previous days. Flora Stone Mather College later converted the building into a meeting facility and the Pink Pig still has a strong link to Mather College and its alumnae.

Remnants of the pig sty remain, such as two little pig doors that are sealed but still visible. One pig door was removed to add a stone fireplace. A wooden hutch features numerous wooden and ceramic pigs. The kitchen displays several pig-shaped cutting boards that farm workers made from the original wooden boards.

Student groups often use the Pink Pig for meetings and overnight activities. Five twin beds are available upstairs in the eastern section of the building. A nearby wooden loft offers room for students to retire with their sleeping bags.

Please review the Pink Pig usage guidelines and farm alcohol policy prior to making a reservation. You should also check availability on the farm calendar before completing the reservation form.
