About your meat

  • We butcher every month so on average you will get your hog a month after placing your order!

  • Yes! we deliver for a $50 fee!

  • You can pick up your pork right at our farm!

  • Once you place your order, I will call you and we will talk about the process and cuts!

    • For a half hog, you’ll need about 4.5 cubic feet which is about 2 large paper grocery bags full.

    • For a whole hog, you’ll need about 9 cubic feet which is about 4 paper grocery bags full.

  • No we are not certified organic. We like to say we are organically minded with our practices resulting in the best quality pork out there!

  • Our hog do not receive any antibiotics during their lifetime.

  • When the hog goes into the butcher it might weigh 285 lbs but after it’s been gutted and is hanging it might weigh 260 which is what you will be charged on. Once it’s been hanging for awhile it will be dismembered and the amount of meat you get will be less than 260 lbs since the bones will be taken out. So you might about 230 lbs of meat.

    Im always happy to discuss further with you since its kinda confusing process and you never fully know how much meat you will get!
