Welcome! You have found one of Florida's only JPAR certified Juliana pig breeders, Hornbeck Homestead! Our miniature Juliana pigs are bred for size and temperament. We breed the tiniest and friendliest piglets in Florida! Our adult pigs are extremely small, ranging from only 12-14" tall full grown. Lots of our pigs go to families who keep them as indoor pets. They are very smart animals and can be potty-trained just like a dog would be. Others keep them outside which they love just as much. Piglets will go home at 8 weeks old in a brand new travel kennel. All piglets are sold with a no-breeding contract per JPAR's ethical standards. Some piglets can be sold with breeding rights, but permission must be granted(and paid for) before purchase.
If you live in an HOA, please get approval from them before contacting us.

From day ONE we are hands-on with the piglets getting them used to everything human. By week 8, they are ready for a seamless transition to your family!

We don't only socialize them with people...they will be used to interacting with both large and small dogs, chickens, goats, and other pigs.

Welcome your new lap pig to the family today!

Think your dog is your best friend? Obviously you've never owned a Juliana pig! Julianas can be trained just like you would train a dog. A quick video search will show you how talented these smart little porkers can be. When they're done showing off, they love a tummy rub and cuddle.
Mini pigs have grown in popularity in the last few years as many celebrities are choosing to own one of these adorable curly-tailed pets! But please, do your research on pet pigs before thinking about bringing one of our babies home. Pigs can live 10-20 years. They are a huge commitment and deserve to have the best care possible throughout their life.
Find recommendations and reviews on the breeder you are buying from as many scammers have found a full time job making money off people who want to buy "mini" pigs. Most if the time, they end up to be 400+lb potbellies! Make sure to always request pictures of the piggie parents, and find lots of reviews to look over.
All of our pigs are pure Julianas. We breed for size, temperament, and color. Most of our babies will have spots, although some occasionally will be born without. Our mommy pig Maple is measuring in at 13" tall, while our daddy pig Tri measures in at 14". Be sure to research how to feed your mini pig in order to keep them the proper size.
Some customers choose to keep these little guys indoors, but at Hornbeck Homestead, our pigs stay outside in their shaded piggy oasis. They love foraging for a variety of plants outdoors so it is important that if you do decide to keep your pig indoors, that you give him plenty of outdoor playtime. Pigs are naturally very curious animals. Be sure to pig-proof your house before bringing him inside!
All Juliana pigs are sold as pets, only (not for breeding). All pigs leaving our farm will be sold with a 'no-breeding' contract per JPAR ethics standards(unless prior permission is granted). If at any time during the lifetime of your pig you cannot keep them anymore, please let me know. I will always take back any of the pigs born on our farm at any time for any reason.

Said to be the smallest breed of pig in the world, the Juliana pig is often referred to as the miniature painted pig because of its small size and its markings. The Juliana was bred to be small, by selectively breeding other small breeds and small pigs. It is not formally recognized as a breed yet, but tends to be considered a good pet because of its gentle and affectionate nature.
These painted miniature pigs were first bred in Europe. They were bred to accompany owners, as pets, on farms, and were created by selectively combining other small pig breeds. Their tiny size means that they are rarely farmed because they would produce minimal meat.
However, their meat is said to taste like any other pork, and their small size means that they would be easy to farm.
The Juliana pig is generally 12-15" tall. However, their size varies largely on how much you feed them and their specific diet. They are referred to as painted because they have spots or markings that appear painted and are a different color to their coat. Common colors include black spots on a white coat, or black spots on a pink coat, but there are many variants. They are closer in build and appearance to a wild pig than a pot-bellied pig.
This type of pig has been bred specifically as a companion pet. As such, they have been bred to be sociable and friendly. Like all pigs, they are very clean animals that can be house trained and that will get along with people unless they are threatened or endangered. They do require a lot of attention, however, and they do have moderate care requirements, including hoof management and regular feeding needs. If buying a Juliana piglet, bear in mind that there is no guarantee it will remain a small pig and you could end up with a full-size pig if not properly fed. We always recommend you feed mini pig food to them in the correct amount it states on the bag, twice a day.

Pigs are much different than the typical pet, like a puppy. They are prey animals, and are naturally skittish of new things. To keep them from being stressed out, they will need a safe space. This can be a corner of your house blocked off with a playpen. Add a comfy dog bed, and some blankets, as well as a litter box, and they will be good to go!
Most X-Small size harnesses will fit your piglet well when they get home, and for the next few weeks. Only start harness training once your pig trusts you. They also love to play with toys and snuggle in blankets. Remember to give your piglet space when you first get home for them to get used to their new surroundings. Never introduce dogs right away. Give them time and let them feel safe first.
The piglets will come in a travel kennel, but they will still need a larger wire kennel to keep them in when you are not home. Note: NEVER leave a pig and a dog together unattended. When buying food, make sure that the bag says "Mini Pig" on the label. My favorite brand to use is Mazuri. You will also need a way to deworm them. My favorite option is an herbal dewormer, but Ivermectin will work just as well.
1. Please research pig care for a considerable amount of time before considering a pig as a pet. Pigs are a 10-15 year long commitment. Please know you are adding a member of the family, and consider carefully the amount of time they will need before considering bringing home a piglet.
2. All piglets are sold are pets only, no breeding, per JPAR ethical standards. If you are looking to breed, please message me.
3. If at ANY time throughout the pigs' life, you can no longer care for them, you are required to bring the pig back to me. No re-homing, or giving to rescues or shelters will be allowed. I will take back any of my pigs at any time for any reason. Please note, no refund will be issued. All sales final.
4. Never leave a dog and pig unattended! You must have a kennel to keep the pig in when you are not home. Pigs are dogs' natural prey, and it is easy for playing to turn into fighting.
5. I agree to feed my pig mini pig feed, in the amount that it says on the bag per the animals weight, and consistently re-weigh to ensure you are giving the proper amount of food as they grow.
6. All piglets are guaranteed healthy at the point of sale. If anything happens to the pig within 24 hours, and vet records from the buyer show that it was unhealthy at the time of purchase, Hornbeck Homestead will replace with another piglet.
7. Please check with your county to ensure you are allowed to have pigs in your zone before contacting us.
