Whole and Half Hogs

All hogs are available by the half and whole animal.

Our pork is $8/lb based on the hanging weight.

The hanging weight for whole hogs typically range from 140 to 180 lbs - half a hog from 70 to 90 lbs.

Hog cut and wrap sheet is available here.

Our Types of Pork

Purebred Tamworth Pork

The Tamworth is appreciated as a great bacon hog due to its deep sides and ability to grow large without putting on too much extraneous fat. It's meat is lean and flavorful. While it is the leanest of the pork we offer it still has much more intramuscular fat than a commercial hog and thus remains moist and flavorful while cooking.

Tamworth-Berkshire Cross Pork

We cross our Berkshire sows on our Tamworth boar for pork that is just a little bit leaner than a purebred Berkshire. While we stumbled upon this cross almost by accident we have since learned this was a popular cross in the 1800's. Tamworth-Berkshire cross pork is the most popular at our farmer's markets.

Roasters?

Sorry, due to the expense of harvest at a USDA facility capable of scalding and de-hairing we do not offer suckling or roaster hogs.

What Our Hogs Eat

The taste of pork is highly influenced by what a hog eats more so than any other farm animal. Good tasting pork starts with hogs that are fed a good tasting diet. Equally important is feeding wholesome foods consistently through their life so that proper marbling is established as the hog grows in size. It is the marbling in the meat that keeps it moist when cooking and imparts such excellent flavor.

We also believe natural foods are the best for hogs and for the people eating our pork. Natural feeding means our hogs get a mixture of nutritional dense foods and roughage. They are never fed antibiotics, ruminant by-products, GMOs, or growth hormones. It takes hogs longer to grow on a natural diet but they are healthy, happy, and satiated during their life.

Our hogs live in a 19 acre pasture that has naturally seasonal grasses - green rye, vetch, wild barley, wild wheat, and forbes in the winter and dried standing grasses in our arid summer. The hogs make the rounds of the pasture whenever they desire - most often early morning and just after sunset. Their diet also includes: Home grown grain and pea hay, wheat, barley, heirloom corn, and eggs. Everything we grow here is non-GMO. Locally grown grain hay, alfalfa, wheat, barley, oats, peas, and beans (all non-GMO). Sometimes they get our cow or goat milk and whey (no hormones) and fresh (not rotten!) organic veggies.
