MATTAPOISETT — The grand adventure of a swashbuckling pig has found a happy ending. 

Poppy was on the loose for 45 days until she made her way to Pine Meadow Alpaca farm. 

Presumably intrigued by the other pigs on the property, Poppy made her way down the driveway of Pine Meadow Alpacas farm. 

Pine Meadow Alpacas is an educational resource center that houses 100 animals ranging from farm animals like pigs, goats and sheep, to more exotic like yaks, porcupines, wild cats and wallabies. 

Poppy made her first appearance near Pine Meadow on Tuesday, Aug. 5. She was first sighted over a mile away near a cemetery, meaning she most likely crossed the U.S. Route 6 at one point. 

Wary of gates and being caught, Poppy watched the daily happenings on the farm, never inching inside the gates. 

“They're one of the smartest animals. They have the intelligence of a three or four year old so they're able to problem-solve,” Lauren Paine, education coordinator, said. “And I think that's why she was able to stay out for so long she knew exactly what people were trying to do.”

Poppy began to take snacks left out for her, and even ate directly out of Outreach Coordinator Diana Paine and Lauren’s sister's hand.

On Friday, Aug. 8, she finally trotted through the gates and explored the grounds.

Following her entrance, the team closed the gates and made her a little pen. Poppy was finally safe.

She was dubbed Poppy as the farm realized her favorite snack was kettle popcorn.

Pine Meadow contacted the animal control officer and are currently fostering this lucky pig while they wait for Massachusetts to verify their adoption. The origin of Poppy’s original whereabouts remains a mystery.

The farm will welcome guests to see Poppy and their other animals in the next few weeks. 

The farm hosts goat yoga, private tours, painting parties and holiday light shows. They will be announcing a few new animal friends in the coming weeks as well. 

Lauren Paine is eager for people to come see Poppy and emphasized that, “We hope that they enjoyed Poppy's story … and eventually get to meet her.”
