Winnie and Wilma

These are our 2 beautiful Berkshire pigs.

Berkshires are a rare breed with only around 300 of them left. They’re native to the UK and are famed for their docile temperaments and good nature. They’re the oldest recognized breed of pig, a favorite of Queen Victoria who was the first person to take them to America!

They’re an all black pig with 6 white points (4 white feet, a white blaze on their face, and a white swish on their tail). Winnie and Wilma come from fantastic pedigrees, both their mum and dad were show champions from very good bloodlines. (Farewell bloodlines, for all the Berkshire fans!).

Winnie and Wilma came to us in early 2025 and are firm favorites among visitors and volunteers alike. They’ve been working hard this autumn clearing an overgrown unused paddock for us.
