Grimm Acres Farm

Grimm Acres Farm, American guinea pigs, Albion, Illinois, are located in southern Illinois near St. Louis. Robert and Susan Grimm have been raising American guinea pigs for over a decade, participating in national registry programs for small livestock, and ensuring annual health screenings for all breeding stock. Animals are housed in spacious barn enclosures with straw bedding, solar-lit runs, daily social interaction, and routine health screening.

The farm began on land cultivated by earlier generations of the Grimm family, fostering a hands-on approach to every step of pig care. Their feeding protocol emphasizes locally grown feed and ample pasture time for natural behaviors. They maintain climate-controlled shelters and enrichments like tunnels and hideouts to support natural curiosity. Potential owners receive guidance on handling techniques that build trust from the first day. Reviews highlight their gentle handling and clear communication about each animal’s temperament before placement in new homes.
