Pigs actually say way more than just oink! They can make over 20 different sounds to communicate different things to each other.
Pigs have excellent memories and can remember people's faces. Make sure you make a good impression with our piggies!
Pigs need need to wallow in mud in summer to cool down and prevent sunburn. When pigs are happy the are known to wag their tails, just like a dog!
Kune Kune
Pronounced Cooney Cooney, Kunekune is a breed of pig originally kept by the Maoris in New Zealand. It is a mystery how they got there though as they are not indigenous. Kunekune means fat and round in Maori.
They are a friendly and hairy pig. It might be hard to believe but they are the smallest domesticated pig globally, which is why they are often kept as pets.
Penelope and Truffles
Penelope and Truffles joined the farm in March 2022. When they arrived on the farm it was hard to believe that they could grow to over 75cms! It wasn't long before they were too big to pick up.
Sadly Truffles passed away in August 2023 after a short illness. Penelope might currently on her own, but not for long! We have reserved two new Kunekune pigs from somewhere in Derbyshire, lets hope they're not football fans! If all goes well they will be here by the end of September.
