American Guinea Hogs are perfect for the small land-holder who wants to be self sufficient. We couldn't run our small farm without them. More important than the cattle, sheep and goats, American Guinea Hogs are the only grazing animal we are comfortable letting in to the fruit, nut and berry orchard to keep the grass mowed. Less than half the size of factory breeds, American Guinea Hogs thrive on grass and clover. A breeding pair is very easy to keep.
Unlike other breeds of pigs, many guinea hogs are minimal rooters. They're very friendly and easy to raise. Great for beginners! They provide the best tasting pork you'll ever eat and their lard makes exceptional cooking oil and hand creme.
Our hogs are grass and clover fed (hay in winter), plus they eat all of our kitchen and farm scraps including fallen fruit and nuts. With a natural diet of grass and clover and hay, and scraps, and very little grain, their poop doesn't stink.
Our farm helped save American Guinea Hogs from extinction and we were the first farm in the west to raise them and we helped establish this rare breed's registry. We have over 20 years of experience and we have several different lines of excellent guinea hogs to choose from.
We can provide you with males and females from various lines to give you a diverse starter-herd.
Meat weaner pigs start at $130. Young quality breeding stock start at $210 per pig, best pigs cost a bit more. We can register the best pigs with AGHA.
We have a ton of experience with permaculture and sustainability and we're happy to share our knowledge with you.
