Hornbeck Homestead

Hornbeck Homestead is a Juliana pig breeder in Hawthorne, Florida, serving Alachua County and the Gainesville area. Founded over a decade ago, it follows strict health-screening protocols, state regulations, and routine veterinary checkups, and its breeding program emphasizes genetic diversity and adherence to recognized Juliana pig standards.

Pigs live in a pasture-based setting with secure shelters, daily health checks, and regular interactions to foster socialization. Litters are intentionally small so each piglet benefits from individual attention during early development. The farm draws on traditional family farming practices to support sustainable husbandry and land stewardship.

Residents and visitors often note the pigs’ calm temperaments and curious natures. Hornbeck Homestead participates in community education about heritage breeds through occasional tours and demonstrations. Its approach balances breed preservation with everyday animal welfare, environmental stewardship, and community engagement to offer a practical model for responsible small-scale farming.
