The Pearly Acre

The Pearly Acre was founded to serve an unexpected demand for experience and knowledge about my Pot Belly pigs. What began with simply taking Bullet for hikes at a local conservation area, to attending town events, became what is now The Pearly Acre. Named after my beautiful piglet, Pearl, whom I lost at 8 months old, we strive to live the most compassionate lives we can, in her name.

In January of 2021 The Pearly Acre officially became a not-for-profit organization. Currently home to 15 pigs, The Pearly Acre also works to help match unwanted pigs with new homes through a networking community.

Our immersive tours give you the opportunity to go into the pig pen and have time to touch and learn about them. Unlike a petting zoo setting, your tour is guided and is full of educational information to help you better understand an animal typically seen as food, and therefore overlooked.
