Our Pigs
Cookie, Jammy & Oreo are Kunekune (coonie coonie) pigs from New Zealand. The name Kunekune means ‘fat and round’ in Maori. Kunekune have a pair of tassels called piri piri under the chin.
Kunekune are the smallest true breed of pig in the world and are popular as pets due to their size, range of colours and patterns, temperament and the fact their upturned snouts mean they do not root and dig up the ground like other breeds.

WHAT DO WE EAT?
Pigs will eat anything they come across; grass, nuts, berries, carrion, roots, tubers, refuse, insects, small insects; using their powerful noses, not just for sniffing and locating but also for rooting up the ground in their search for food.
