So, tell me....
how can I resist a piglet?
or
maybe two?
The wonderful thing about the Kunekunes is the fact that they are not rooters,
but rather are grazers.
We have plenty of grazing land....so......!
Oh, and they only reach 90 to 100 pounds.
What do you think?
Pig?
or not?

To Pig Or Not To Pig
Wanna know a secret?
[whispering].... I love pigs!
ok...
I LOVE pigs!
Ever since I was a little girl and my Papap took me to see a litter of
newborn piglets,
I have been hopelessly in porcine love!
All during my childhood I wanted a pig.
Of course, in those days I did not live on a farm
so having a pig was out of the question.
But there was a farm a few miles from us that had piglets yearly,
and my parents would drive me to see the pigs every year.
However.....
now I live on a farm.
So having a pig is no longer out of the question.
A few years ago, when planning our farm,
I did a little research on mini pigs and found some information about
an adorable little pig from New Zealand...
the Kunekune pig.
And through blogging I met Amy of Verde Farm.
Amy raises Kunekunes.
Last week she emailed me to tell me that they had piglets...
newly born.
then more pictures came...
I LOVE pigs!
You only have to walk in my kitchen to figure this out, though.
I have loved pigs all my life.
