Our pigs are heritage breeds (Duroc/Berkshire/Landrace) which are better suited to a life in the field and famous for their bacon.  They are rotated regularly onto clean pasture where they eat clover, alfalfa, wild mushrooms, forbs and anything else tasty they can find! They have a hog ration made of local grains available to them 24/7, which provides the majority of their energy requirements. Flavor is largely determined by the diversity of the diet, and plant diversity in the diet increases phytochemical exposure for the animal, meaning this will be the most flavourful, natural pork, you will ever taste! 

Pastured pork is not just free range, it's far superior to free range. Why? Free range could simply be a group of pigs in a large outdoor dirt pen. Pastured pork is rotated around so there is always fresh grass, legumes and forbs for them to eat and explore. We raise our pigs mimicking the natural life of their wild ancestors as closely as possible.

--COST (please read fully)--

Cost is $5/lb based on the hanging weight (weight after slaughter but before cutting) of the animal PLUS butcher fees

Butcher fees are $1-$1.50/lb. This will vary depending on how you have your pork cut (curing/smoking/sausage is more time-consuming and thus more expensive) There is also a $24.50 slaughter fee per half. 

To summarize: This will give you 65-80lbs of pork for a half, cut and wrapped, ready for your freezer. You can expect to pay approximately $700-750 all said and done (cut, wrapped, delivered) for one half pork.

This is roughly what cuts could come in a pork half, though you will choose how you want it cut/cured!
