WHY KUNEKUNES?

Due to many factors, including intense food allergies, it became necessary for our family to provide ourselves with meat in a clean, controlled environment without cross-contamination and added ingredients. Not only do we choose what our pigs eat, but they are happy and very much loved.

FACTS ABOUT KUNEKUNES

and why we chose them for our family

The meat is healthy.

 

KuneKune meat is high in beta carotene, vitamins D and E, and contains good fatty acids that lower cholesterol and help keep the human body healthy. 

WHAT WE OFFER

6c21c84c-a89e-4e93-a328-1e74c42eaed5.jfif

Our foundation herd provides us with registered future breeding offspring and meat to sustain our family and others.

 

Each litter born on our farm is evaluated so that only the best are sold as top quality breeding stock. The rest are kept or sold as pasture grow outs.​​​

​

Occasionally, we also have half or whole pork shares so ask about availability.

KUNEKUNE SHOP

BREED HISTORY

KuneKunes originated from the Maori Islands of New Zealand.  Whalers brought pigs to trade with the Maori people in the 1800's.  In the 1900's KuneKunes were a common village companion to the Maori.  The breed went nearly extinct when the Maoris moved into houses, and the free-ranging pigs were left behind.

 

In the 1970s, they were rediscovered by two wildlife park employees, Michael Willis and John Simister, who saved them from extinction. With only about 50 pigs left in existence, the pair managed planned breedings and the start of a breed registry.  Currently, two registries serve the US: The International KuneKune Hog Registry (IKHR) and the American KuneKune Hog Society (AKKPS).  We are an AKKPS Exclusive Breeder.

​

Today, there are a few thousand KuneKunes in the US thanks to the efforts of the original founders and imported lines, which started in 1995.  All KuneKunes in the US go back to the original imports from New Zealand and the UK. 

 

The original import lines are as follows:
