Pigs
Penny and Patsy are two very friendly micro pigs that the farm got from Pennywell Farm in Devon. Since their arrival they have been very popular due to their sweet smiles and energetic personalities. They were introduced to all of the children and everyone agreed that they were a great addition to the farm.
In July 2024 they took part in a pig race at our Country show and the farm staff had to race with them as it was their first time running in front of a big crowd. After everyone chose the pig they thought would win the race started and everyone was shouting their names, both pigs had a great time and Patsy was crowned the winner.
Since they have always been such lovely natured pigs we have always wanted to try breeding them and so in Autumn Henry the boar came to stay with us for a while. We were thrilled when we found out that both Penny and Patsy were going to have piglets.
Patsy had 2 boys and 1 girl and Penny had 3 girls and 3 boys! We are so proud of both of them and are now going to give others the opportunity to have a pet pig.

We have Glow too, she is an Oxford Sandy and Black pig and she is beautiful. We got her off a local pig breeder and she has been a great addition to the farm. She has had two sets of litters and both sets have been very friendly and healthy. We sell some of her piglets as breeding pigs and the rest usually go for meat.
The breed originated from Oxfordshire and they almost went extinct but over time the breed has come back in bigger numbers and the Oxford Sandy and Black Society has been collecting data about the breeds bloodlines and numbers.
Glow has had two sets of piglets, the most recent were born in December 2024 and she had a litter of 9. We have kept two of her beautiful gilts to breed from and the rest have found new homes.
In February 2025 we made the decision to rehome glow and retire her as she had struggled with mastitis a couple of times so it wouldn't be fair to breed from her again. She has gone to a wonderful home where she will get to live out the rest of her life with her new friend Delilah who is a pot bellied cross breed.
Del Boy and Rodney Trotter are Kunekune cross potbellied pigs that were bought from a farm in The Weald, Sevenoaks. The gorgeous brothers were born in September 2019 and are now fully grown.
Kunekune pigs originate from New Zealand but are not indigenous to that country. They were kept by the Maoris for their meat, however they did not live in enclosures but were allowed to roam free in the house scavenging for food. This could explain why this breed are so friendly and have the most amazing temperaments.
Kunekune pigs have a distinctive feature that distinguishes them from other pigs, they have a pair of tassels under their chin called a Wattle.
Del Boy and Rodney both have great characters – just like the real thing and love the company of humans. Their favourite thing is to have their tummies rubbed which WILL send them to sleep. In fact the boys can often be heard snoring from quite a distance. They are very gentle pigs and will call out when they hear you coming.
Our pigs love to eat apples, bread and pig nuts, although their main diet consists of grass and vegetables.
We have created a school community farm, based at our primary school in Seal. This wonderful facility will be open to the public & schools
