The Kune Kune

We recently bought egg laying chickens from a family who also happened to have a litter of baby Kune Kunes (pronounced Koo-Nee Koo-Nee). You may be wondering what is a Kune Kune? Well, I asked the same thing to my husband because he was extremely excited about this new opportunity we found ourselves in.

The answer is… PIGS! The Kune Kune pigs are a type of breed that are used as pig-pets, similar to Pot Belly pigs. The Kune Kune's have variety of colors, upturned noses and often grow mustaches! They are a smaller breed of pig, with huge personalities!

The back story here is, when Sam decided he wanted to be a land-owning farmer someday (Lord willing) he got into pigs as his favorite animal. After researching the pig, he decided the dream animal someday would be the… of course… Kune Kune pig! The perfect pig. So here we were, faced with a decision to aquire some Kune Kune pigs.

Ladies, find yourself a man who continues to impress you with your very own Kune Kune pigs. They are such a joy, instantly bringing a smile to my face! I am amazed by my husband, who is passionate about everything he does- and these pigs are no exception! Here are their names. We have Kronk, the black and brown guy who is the softest and the sweetest. Then Peaches, the black and white spotted lady who is shy but loves belly rubs. And lastly, Michelle Lindell in honor of My Pillow celebrity, Mike. Michelle is sassy and independent- therefore deserving of a longer name.

There is much adventure in my life, thanks to my husband! We love our little farm, and we are so thankful Sammy can grow up surrounded by the variety of animals created by the Lord!
