Pasture Raised Kunekune Pork

Looking for pork that actually tastes like pork? Rich, marbled, and packed with flavor? You’re in the right place.
What Makes Kunekune Pork Different
Kunekunes (pronounced “cooney cooney”) are a smaller heritage breed of swine originally from New Zealand. They’re known for their short, upturned snouts, gentle personalities, and their absolutely delicious pork.
Kunekune pork is no “other white meat.” It’s deep red in color, well-marbled, and incredibly flavorful—even without seasoning. Once you try it, you’ll never go back to conventional pork again.
How We Raise Our Pigs
Our Kunekunes live their full lives outdoors on pasture, grazing, rooting, and soaking up the sun. They eat a non-GMO, no-corn, no-soy diet made up of barley and peas—no fillers, no junk, just real feed.
Kunekunes take their time growing (about 12–13 months versus 6–7 months for more conventional pigs), but that slower finish is what gives the meat its richness and quality. They grow to about 175–200 pounds, and are processed locally at Odenthal Meats in New Prague.
Animal Care and Stewardship
We raise our pigs with the same care and calm handling we give all of our animals. Kunekunes are naturally docile and friendly, which makes them a joy to raise and a perfect fit for our pasture-based system. Because of their grazing ability and gentle nature, they’re also easier on the land than most pig breeds—a win for our soil and our sanity.
Buying Our Pork
We offer Kunekune pork in two ways:
-
Individual Cuts – Try it out before you commit! Shop our pork chops, roasts, sausage, and more by clicking here.

Bulk Pork (Half or Whole Hog) – Ready to fill your freezer? Kunekune pork is $5/lb (hanging weight) plus processing. Processing costs range from $0.93 to $4/lb, depending on your selections (like smoking or curing). Each half hog yields about 50–65 lbs of packaged pork, or 100–130 lbs per whole hog.
We have Kunekunes available most months. However, quantities are limited, so we recommend reserving early!
