We believe that every animal deserves a dignified and stress-free life, and we strive to provide just that. When you purchase a hog share from Serenity Valley Farm, you're not only getting delicious, high-quality pork; you're also contributing to a more compassionate and ethical food system. Our Pigs

At Serenity Valley Farm, we raise Kune Kune/American Guinea Hog crosses, a unique and desirable breed for pasture-raised pork. This hybrid breed combines the best qualities of both parent breeds:

Kune Kunes: Known for their hardiness, docility, and foraging ability. They are excellent foragers and can thrive on a diet of grass and pasture. While they are relatively slow-growing compared to some other breeds, their hardiness and adaptability make them well-suited for pasture-raised environments. American Guinea Hogs: Renowned for their lean, flavorful meat and small size. They are also known for their adaptability and resistance to disease. American Guinea Hogs are known for their rapid growth rate, making them an excellent choice for those seeking a quicker turnaround time. The combination of these two breeds results in a pig that is:

Hardy and resilient: Able to thrive in various climates and conditions. Efficient foragers: Capable of finding their own food and minimizing feed costs. Docile and friendly: Easy to handle and interact with. Productive: Producing high-quality meat with a good meat-to-bone ratio. Flavorful: Offering a unique and delicious taste that is distinct from traditional pork. By choosing Kune Kune/American Guinea Hog crosses, we are committed to providing our customers with the highest quality, most sustainable pork possible. The hybrid nature of our pigs allows us to balance the desirable traits of both breeds, resulting in a pig that is both hardy and productive, while maintaining a high level of quality and flavor.

8 days old, several days of continuous sub-freezing temps, and these little ones are seemingly impervious to the cold, just hanging out in 22° weather nursing on mom like it's spring and 70°.

My piggies are constantly amazing me! How resilient, funny, strong, fierce, goofy, and full of ❤️ they are.

Mama Pip is fiercely protective of her babies, but also seems to know we're not gonna hurt them, despite their ear piercing screams when picked up, and is the gentlest of bullies to us.

How many boys and girls do you think we've got in this splendidly spotted litter of bacon seeds?

We have babies! We thought we had 1 more day, but i came home from work yesterday to find Pip gave birth to 8 wonderful little bacon seeds! One (least spotted white), now named Chilly W***y, was a bit chilly and had to come inside and warm up by the fire for an hour, but went back out with his family. I'm happy to report that all 8 babies made it through their 1st night with 26° temperatures. These babies will be available for hog shares going to butcher in 2026.

Updates!

I am so Excited! I love being able to share great news! We have been hard at word behind the scenes and have managed to locate significant cost savings for our clients on the back end with our partnering processor.

We were highly dissatisfied with the quote we got from the place we've used previously for processing deer, so we continued to shop around. We're still in negotiations for a final price, but it looks like we'll be cutting costs by AT LEAST $100 from our original expectations of $266, plus extras. So processing costs should be about $150. Of course bacon curing and sausage and ham all cost a bit extra, but that's to be expected and look to be about $2/lb.

We're getting it all finalized, and when we do we'll post who we're working with and their cut sheet, so you can familiarize yourself with it and know where you'll have to go to pick up your meat.

We have also discussed when we're going to send them to the processor and I believe we've decided to pick a date in March, I'm just not confident that some of these smaller guys are gonna get to proper size by January, so a couple more months will help them reach their potential.

Pics of the 🐷 eating pumpkins 🎃 and hanging out in the fields, and my husband watering them and having a full conversation with Pip who was asking for more pumpkin and not happy he wasn't giving her any.

Here's a fun one to get your brains going this AM.

This is where my Autistic side kicks in and starts asking if earn means just earnings or does it mean profits. Very different answers. What are your thoughts? How do you math this?
