Pork

Pasture-Raised Pork

Our pigs are raised outdoors on green pastures and moved onto fresh grass regularly. They are fed a diet of non-medicated Poulin grain (made in Vermont), foraged crops, and extra vegetables from the garden. Our finished pasture-raised pork is sold in bulk, in quantities of whole, half and quarter shares. We also offer individually packaged cuts in our year-round farm store.

Our pigs are harvested in October, and average 250 pounds hanging weight at slaughter, which yields approximately 150 pounds of finished, packaged meat per pig. Bacon is included with every share. Customized butchering options are a great perk of purchasing our pork shares and include:

  • Roasts
  • Chops
  • Country style ribs
  • Bacon
  • Ham roasts or steaks
  • Multiple sausage flavors

We price our pork by the hanging weight to enable you to customize your cuts with bone-in or boneless options. The price is $6.50/hanging weight pound, which translates to roughly $9.60/lb of finished meat. The final weight of each animal determines the exact total price, but an average cost estimate looks like this:

  • Quarter share
    • 60 pounds hanging weight (35 pounds finished meat) = $390
  • Half share
    • 125 pounds hanging weight (70 pounds finished meat) = $815
  • Whole share
    • 250 pounds hanging weight (140 pounds finished meat) = $1,625

We take pre-orders on a first come first served basis, so don’t delay!
