Kunekune Workshops
We are obsessed with our kunekune pigs, and you will be too! Trust us.
Kunekunes were raised by the Maori people of New Zealand for hundreds of years to be docile, non-destructive members of the community. Their short snouts and sweet personalities make them a perfect fit for sustainable farms or family companions.
Join Farmer Rachel for an introduction to this rare pig breed. You’ll learn about feed, fencing and shelter needs; health; breeding; land management capability; and sustainable pork production.

THANK YOU
When you attend a Slow Farm workshop, you’re supporting our efforts to restore this 47 acre former tobacco farm using historic and holistic farming methods that mimic nature. No chemicals, no shortcuts.
Why do we do this? Because working with nature produces generational fertility and a brighter, more abundant future. Sure it’s is a slow process, but in the long run regenerative farming creates resilient food systems that can feed communities AND contribute to the health of the planet.
It’s a labor of love and hope. We’re so happy you’re a part of it.
