Kune Kune Pigs

Kune Kune pigs are making headway into small scale farms across our country, and there are several reasons we chose them for our homestead. Kune Kunes are known for being docile, friendly, and extremely easy to handle. These pigs are pasture raised on our homestead and are well-known for being a grazing animal. They do not generally root the earth since their snouts are shorter and they require much less grain than other hogs.

Kune Kunes are known for being bred as a lard pig and having beautifully marbled meat, wrapped in a nice layer of fat, keeping the flavor and juices locked in. On our homestead, we prefer a very lean meat, so we use the fat to render lard for things like frying, baking, and seasoning meals.
