About our Kunekune pigs
Kunekune pigs are native to New Zealand, although DNA analysis indicates they are originally from Asia. Their bodies are small and fat, with short legs and round bodies. Similar to some goats, they have waddles, or tassels, called piri piri hanging from their lower jaw.
Unlike other pigs, they are friendly and enjoy human interaction. This is why we can allow our farm guests to pet our Kunekunes if they come to the fence. They really enjoy belly scratches!
