About Willowborough Pigs

Willowborough Pigs is a family-owned miniature pig breeding business located in Worcestershire. We are dedicated to breeding healthy, happy and friendly small breed pigs that make fantastic pets. Our pigs are raised with love and care, ensuring they grow up to be happy and healthy companions for their new families.

Our Pigs

We love ‘em! We have Spots and Hazel our two Pennywell girls (Pennywell have been breeding small breed pet pigs for years and have focussed on personality and colour) We also have Thor the Boar. If there were stallions amongst pigs, Thor is definitely one! He is a very special miniature pig from reputable breeders Woozel Farm in Herefordshire. He has Swedish Little pig heritage which means his family tree can be traced back to his great grandparents. We also have Tiny Norman. Tiny Norman is a Kune Kune pig, and we bought him as a companion to Thor (pigs don’t like being alone, and we couldn’t really keep Thor with the girls, he’s a Swedish Party animal!) Tiny Norman will be the biggest pig we own, but he will never be a dad… if you catch my drift! He’s a lovely boy who likes a lot of fuss.

Our pigs are part of the family. They are friendly and sociable and absolutely love their belly scratches. Spots and Hazel now sit on command…to be fair, I think you could teach a pig to drive if they knew there was food as a reward, they are incredibly intelligent animals.

Our Story

So, this is us, we are the Cook family: Sarah, Richard, Jake and Gracie, and it turns out we love pigs!

After a very difficult time in our lives, we moved into our wonderful home in Worcestershire with one small dog. Surrounded by fields full of horses, donkeys, sheep and alpacas. it was only a matter of time before we got more animals, and it turned out our chosen animal was pigs!

Why pigs? Well a long, long time ago, back in 2021, Jake and Gracie decided they wanted pet pigs. We all did our research, they started putting money away in an…online account (you thought I was going to say piggy bank didn’t you?). One day we all went down to Devon. Jake and Gracie had no idea, but we had put a deposit down for two pigs. They thought we were just visiting a lovely animal farm and had paid for them to cuddle two cute pigs…but it turned out those two cute pigs were now theirs. Spots and Hazel came home with us back in 2022, in 2023 we bought Thor and Tiny Norman and the rest is history!
