Welcome to Hamlet & Wilbur Farms!
At Hamlet & Wilbur Farms we have a variety of things happening. We have your everyday small farm products including items like Fresh Seasonal Veggies, Pickled Products, Preserves, Hot Sauce, Seeds, Soaps, Oils, Christmas crafts, baked goods and of course Bacon flavoured dog treats. Most of our products are available through our online store but some can be found in local stores and at community markets.
In addition to our product line, we breed KuneKune pigs at Hamlet & Wilbur Farms that we farm for harvesting and continued breeding through the sale of KuneKune piglets.
KuneKune pigs provide a quality harvested pork product. The meat is marbled and jam packed with flavour. The best thing about creating your own harvested pork product is that we know what the pigs ate and all the wholesome goodness they received.
We are strictly a KuneKune pig breed farm and there are many reasons for this. KuneKune pigs are docile, friendly and easy to manage and handle. They love to graze which allows for a healthy diet and control of our grass in the pastures. Speaking of pastures, KuneKune pigs do not destroy your pasture and root excessively like other pigs. They also are respectful of the fencing and do not destroy their enclosure with the desire to escape. KuneKune pigs are a non-aggressive breed of pig and are actually quite affectionate.
At Hamlet & Wilbur Farms, our KuneKune pigs provide us with the opportunity to reduce our kitchen household waste. Cuttings from most fruits and veggies the pigs love where we would typically dispose of them quickly. They are also great for weed control if you have dandelions as that is one of their favourite foods. They provide manure through their waste that is great for gardens when composted.
Hamlet & Wilbur Farms Quick Fact….
Did you know that KuneKune pigs will pick a spot in their pen to use for the bathroom and that is the only place they go? Well, it’s true. They decide on their bathroom right away when introduced to a new environment. KuneKune pigs are very clean, don’t smell, are full of personality and simply are awesome!
Our family are animal lovers, and that care is shown each and every day to the pigs and of course dogs on our farm. Hamlet, Wilbur and their two female counterparts Petunia and Prudence are members of our family and will be for the length of their natural lives.
Our farm will grow over time with more products, features and events, thanks for visiting us online.
Sustainable and Responsible Farming
Hamlet & Wilbur Farms does not use pesticides or chemicals to control any form of weed or pest. We have only used natural means like manually cutting back and re-establishing proper grass areas for our pasture. Our pigs graze and are pasture grass fed during the spring and summer months. From our garden, our soil is a solid base of natural pesticide free soil. We compost our healthy pig waste and other organic waste for a more nutrient enriched soil for our plants, flowers and vegetables to grow.
