I cannot say enough good things about American Guinea Hogs. I feel the breed doesn’t get enough recognition. In fact, they were almost extinct 40 years ago. They are small, friendly, and excel at clearing brush and blackberry. However they are utilized, whether grazing on pasture, foraging in a forest/orchard, or tilling an area in preparation for a garden, they are an excellent choice for your homestead.

For me, it is imperative to know where my animals come from. There are a lot of folks either knowingly or unknowingly that pass off certain breeds or crosses as something they are not. I have nothing against crossbreeds, but I find that knowing an animals background and the characteristics that breed is known for helps you better care for them and anticipate what behaviors and traits to expect. This, along with my desire to help preserve endangered breeds, is the main reason why our breeding stock of American Guinea Hogs are registered.

Our pigs are bred to a standard and even those who do not wish to have pedigreed pigs can still know that their pigs come from quality lines.

Currently, we have three gilts and a boar registered with the American Guinea Hog Association (AGHA). We had one litter of nine piglets born in April of the 2022 season.
