It's actually a good idea for your farm to be separate from your 'main' base.
That way your farm is less likely to be raided as no raids/damage will take place
if you're not there. Don't spend a lot of time at your farms; harvest/plant,
butcher some boars and feed them to breed. When they squeal loudly; they've
just birthed a piglet. You can leave then if you wish; whether the piglets grow
while you're not there or achieve full growth when you return is irrelevant;
you'll find boars not piglets.

To be really safe from raids at your farm visit it just after any raid; you have
about 40? minutes in real time before the chance of another raid.

So I do actually have to sit around and wait for them to birth piglets? Ough

Yes. Feed the boars, then harvest your plants, then plant new seeds. By the time you have finished that your boars will have produced offspring. The off spring will grow while you aren't present.

Non-pregnant boars check for pregnancy every 30 seconds. Pregnancy lasts 1 minute. Partner check is 3 meters distant. Maximum boars is 5 per 10 meters of space. (Each boar has to have 2 tiles worth of space. A 5x6 pen will hold a maximum of 15 boars.)
