Wondering what comes in your half pig?

You will get roughly 85lb of pork, vacuum sealed & frozen. Stored this way, our pork is good for at least a year in your freezer and food safe far longer.

Your pork will take up about 3-4 cubit feet in your freezer, or half of a small chest freezer. This amount of pork will feed a family for 6 months to a year.

  • 12 lb Pork Chops             

  • 2-3 lb Ribs             

  • 10 lb Hickory Smoked and Uncured Bacon             

  • 6-8 lb Boston Butt (2 roasts)                              

  • 1 Tenderloin             

  • 4 lb Neck Bones         

  • 2-3 lb Smoked Ham Hocks              

  • 36 lb Ground Pork or Sausage of your choice         

  • 4 lb Ground Organ Meat     

  • 3 qts. lard

  • 1 qt. leaf lard

You will receive your meat in 2-3 large cardboard boxes that will insulate your meat for a few hours.

*There is an option to get a hickory smoked ham or a picnic roast which will decrease the amount of sausage you get. You’ll also get the option to get a pack of ears, tails, and feet if you’d like.

The two pictures above show an example of what you Would receive in your half pig if you got a hickory smoked ham, breakfast sausage, smoked sausage links and bratwursts.

Your sausage is completely customizable!

I also love all the different cuts we get, because it challenges us to find new and delicious ways to cook things that we may not have normally bought at the grocery store.”
