About Kune Kune Pigs

KuneKune pigs are small, intelligent pigs that come from New Zealand. They were traditionally raised by Maori tribes for their tasty meat and as they were allowed to roam free around villages they have adapted a strong bond with humans and an excellent temperament.

Whilst KuneKune pigs are not suitable as a traditional household pet, their affectionate manner and distinct appearance make them a lovable addition to any farm or smallholding. They are sociable animals and hate living alone, but a pair would live happily in a small paddock or even a large enclosed garden.

At our coastal farm near St Davids in Pembrokeshire we have two pet breeding sows, Pepper and Penny. We are not commercial breeders, we keep the pigs as a hobby and love having piglets as a way of spreading the joy of owning a KuneKune.

While we also own hens, ducks, pygmy goats and dexter cattle, it's the pigs that give us the most enjoyment due to their distinctive personalities.

Our KuneKune are easy to keep, living together in a small pig arc in a paddock about an acre in size. As well as grazing, we feed them with a small amount of pig food depending on the season. They are exceptionally clean, affectionate animals and are happy to trot over to us for a cuddle and scratch whenever we enter their field.

Another benefit of keeping KuneKune pigs is that unlike traditional commercial pig breeds, they generally tend not to churn up and root at the ground, so our fields still look lush and grassy after a year's grazing.

Both of our pigs are registered with the British Kune Kune Society, who provide an extensive guide to buying and keeping the pigs on their website...

Our pigs are popular members on a farm of miniature animals that we set up to provide enjoyment for visitors at our holiday park.
