“My Daughter became fascinated with pigs after watching the film Babe and we would frequently visit farms and animal sanctuaries never imagining we could ever keep our own pet pig. Then one day we discovered micro pigs! Unfortunately, after doing some extensive research we found that most micro pig breeders are based in the countryside – far from London. And so in 2010, we decided to start our own micro pig company so others within the London area could share in the fun. With great excitement, I completed my pig handling courses, read books and interviewed the leading breeders and authors in the UK. I approached the Prince’s Trust with my business idea, took part in the enterprise programme to build the business and was awarded the funding to start Kew Little Pigs. Over several years we have researched the industry and have set up unique services enabling more people to have the first-hand experience with micro pigs. We are the only micro pig breeders and company in the UK that focus on our exhibiting our micro pigs and educating people on their intelligence, understanding their needs and owners responsibilities.”
“I joined the team in 2024 as an office administrator and to organise events. As an Office Administrator I am the first point of contact with Kew Little Pigs Farm and would love to help with any queries you have. In my free time I run charity campaigns to raise money for the animals in our world, which is why I love working here, where our animals’ welfare is our highest priority.”
“Working at Kew Little Pigs has not only deepened my understanding of animals but also given me the chance to share that knowledge with our guests. Previously, I worked at another farm with a wide range of animals, and I have loved being able to focus on pigs and getting to know their individual personalities. I’ve always been passionate about animals and wildlife, so working here is a great opportunity to learn more.”
“I joined the team in September of 2021 as a Farm Hand. This was my first proper job and the experience was very insightful as working with animals there is never a dull moment. I have always loved animals and have had many different animals growing up such as guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs and horses so I knew the animal industry was a career I would like to be involved in. Since joining Kew Little Pigs Farm I have had the opportunity to care for the animals and share my knowledge with all the customers that have visited the farm. I was promoted to Head Farm Hand in January 2023.
I look forward to my journey here at Kew Little Pigs Farm and hope to see you on the farm soon!”
