Pastured Pork: Pork that has never been fed any soy or conventional feed. We fatten our pigs on pasture, vegetable scraps and milk. Reserve a half or whole pig with a $100 down payment. Pork is ready in the fall. Whole pigs are usually around 250 lbs at $3.50/# hang weight. Additional charges apply for organic processing and smoking of sausage, bacon and ham. Shares are very limited as we only raise four pigs each year.
$100 down deposit ensures your share in the pig.
A free copy of the Grassfed Gourmet by Shannon Hayes is included with each pork order. This book includes recipes for how to cook pasture-raised meats.
We raise purebred Berkshire pigs which are an old heritage breed that is a naturally slow-growing pig that traditionally does better on pasture where they can eat fresh grass, bugs and root for nutrients deep in the soil. We mostly fatten our pigs on milk while they eat plenty of grass, bugs and vegetable scraps for roughage.
We don't put ring in our pigs' noses to prevent them from expressing their natural rooting nature. We give them ample pasture while supplying them with a line where they always have access to fresh water and shade.
