MKONO Farm is a small batch swinery that specializes in the slow growing heritage breed Kunekune from New Zealand. We are a pastured piggery that practices pasture rotation fostering permaculture systems on farm. We strive to utilize the Kunekune pig in every facet we can by selling show/breeding stock, homestead stock, feeders to whole pig, roasters, meat by the cut, and charcuterie. Our pigs are humanely raised, well loved, and grass fed from start to finish.
Family owned and operated by Jason and Amanda Hand, MKONO Farm had its beginnings with the unique responsibility of producing small batch exclusive heritage products for Washington D.C, Northern Virginia, and Maryland in late 2017. Our farm was birthed on the fertile banks of the Patuxent River in Southern Maryland, where we used our natural environment to raise, grow and harvest food that is as nature intended healthy and delicious. Our flavorful products are sustainably produced FREE FROM hormones, antibiotics, GMO's and other junk.
In August of 2021, we moved the farm from Southern Indiana. Going back to our home states roots after 20+ years is something we are thankful we have the opportunity to do. It is time to reconnect with our family and perfect our small batch swinery and charcuterie goodness here in Indiana on a bigger farm.
We are a Homegrown by Heroes Indiana Grown farm member and members of the Farm Veterans Coalition. MKONO farm is also a certified pork production farm with Kunekune Pork Producers Association and adheres to the KPPA's stingent set of animal welfare and program guidlines.
