Kunekune Pigs
We breed and sell our Kunekune pigs as pets or to be raised as meat pigs. Kunekunes are sweet and docile making them easy to handle. They are a smaller breed of pig that can reach up to 400 pounds fully grown. Kunekunes can be raised on pasture and are short snouted so they will not be as destructive to fields compared to longer snouted breeds. They also enjoy an array of fruits and veggies. Kunekunes come in a variety of different colors and markings. They can be spotted, banded, or solid in shades of ginger, brown, black, or cream or a combo of these colors. Kunekunes also have skin tags under their jaws, called wattles.

Boars
Cillian is our boar and he loves all kinds of attention. He follows us around the farm tasting the different grass and plants along the way. Cillian loves blackberries and belly rubs.
Sows
Agnes is our black and white sow who will flop over in front of you and demand belly rubs. She enjoys back rubs from the kids (people or goats) and seeking cool shady areas on warm summer days.
Gilts
Collette was born March of 2023. She participate in both our farm tour petting sessions and goes to mobile petting zoos. The easiest way to tell Collette apart from Agnes is by looking at their ears. Agnes has two black ears and Collette has one white ear. She absolutely loves tummy rubs and just flop down to make her belly more accessible for petting. She is well rounded in both size and experience for our mobile petting zoos.
