UPDATED May 17, 2018 Hello and welcome to our home on the web! We are Hilly Haven Farm and located in central Wisconsin. We raise AKKPS/AKPR KuneKune pigs and a few breeds of poultry including Spangled Russian Orloff, Isabella OEGB (project color), and BBS Copper Marans. Please visit us on Facebook for most current information. https://www.facebook.com/hillyhavenfarm/ |
AKPR/AKKPS KuneKune Pigs
We started with Kunes (pronounced cooney cooney not like the word dune, a word from the New Zealand Maori tribe, their homeland, that means fat fat) in 2014. They are a wonderful breed of hog! They make great pets and are an excellent choice for a small pastured pork. They are extremely gentle, mine graze with my Katahdin sheep and I've even had broody hens raise chicks with a litter of piglets. We prefer a shorter type nose as we have a very heavy wet soil in spring and the longer nosed ones do dig a bit in our soil then, so we've decided to stay with shorter faced ones and they don't dig holes.
Kunes are very friendly and love belly rubs. They are smart and love to interact with their human caretakers. We feed our adults 2-4 cups a day of pelleted pig feed depending on season and other available goodies, pasture, produce in summer/fall and alfalfa mix hay in winter.

Poultry

We have changed our poultry program a bit this year, we are taking a break from the calico bantam cochins and have sold off our adult flock, keeping back a juvenile quad. We are working with our Russian Orloffs and happy with how our birds are looking. A fun project for us are the Isabella colored Old English Game Bantams. A beautiful fun little bird, very active, good temperament, friendly and great layers if you like quarter sized eggs. The BBS Copper Marans are a new breed this year and the youngsters are still growing up. A couple are starting to lay, so these won't be available until 2019. We also have Call Ducks, we have a group pen, with a chocolate drake covering speckled chocolate hens and a silver hen.
Orloffs - Stately looking birds, large fowl, with beards and muffs and a hawk like appearance to their eye. Friendly, gentle birds that lay well and are hardy. An old breed that is trying to make a name for itself again. Jenny and Darrin Neuendorf
