Grimm Acres Farm

Grimm Acres Farm raises American guinea hogs in Albion, Illinois, a small community in southern Illinois roughly an hour east of St. Louis. Robert and Susan Grimm founded the farm in 2005 after Bob retired from 23 years of service in the United States Army, with the original goal of producing the majority of the family's food supply.

The farm operates on a homestead and permaculture-influenced model, with an emphasis on sustainability and rotational grazing to reduce reliance on chemical dewormers while improving soil and pasture health. Livestock are raised outdoors in fresh air, and the farm holds an Animal Welfare Approved certification. Grimm Acres is also a member of the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy, and the breeds raised there — including the American guinea hog — were selected specifically from the Conservancy's Conservation Priority List.

Susan, a retired Army Nurse Corps officer, brings a background in nutrition and integrative health to the farm's animal care practices, with a focus on raising animals free of hormones, antibiotics, and pesticides. Those looking for American guinea hog piglets in Illinois can find in Grimm Acres a program rooted in heritage breed conservation rather than commercial production. The farm also raises Great Pyrenees dogs and heritage poultry alongside the hogs, and welcomes visits from families, 4-H groups, and agricultural students.
