These are some piglets from a few years ago.
We had them tilling part of the garden in the spring before planting!
Fresh Air Outdoor Pork
We purchase our piglets locally and raise them outdoors on our pastures and wooded areas. In the summer they have a rain/sun shelter and mud wallow for keeping cool in along with large areas for their tilling or grazing pleasure. In the winter they have a very large round poly dome calf hutch with lots of straw and wood shavings to snuggle in. They have an outdoor pen for rooting, playing and eating.
We feed a grain feed free of antibiotics along with milk from our jersey cows,
veggies and hay.
This way of raising pigs in the fresh air and feeding quality food produces a pork that has wonderful taste and texture along with being moist and tender.
This summer's piglets have been busy at the new farm, renovating old overgrown pasture, digging out a pond, grazing under the apple trees, grazing the alfalfa fields.....
*****
We sell our pork by the half, whole and individual cuts.
******
1/2's and wholes are $3.65 a pound.
This is calculated by the hanging weight and does NOT include processing (butcher) fees. This is paid by the customer. (estimate $100 per half)
A half is usually around 100 pounds by the hanging weight, after this is cut and processed the take home meat is typically about 50-60 pounds. This is custom cut to your order at a USDA inspected processor (kelley meats in Taberg NY) . We will go over your cutting specifications ahead of time to determine what cuts you prefer or you can talk to the processor yourself if you prefer.
This is likely some of the best pork you will ever eat. Moist, tender, tasty, raised outdoors with lots of sunshine, fresh air, where they can till, graze, laze away the day in a good healthy environment.
A $150 deposit per half is required at ordering.
Our next schedule processing for pork halves and wholes is mid- december. The one after that will likely be June 2012.
