Pork Deposit

1

Choose a half or whole pig for processing! Harvest date is September 28, and they are ready for pick up 10 days later.

$8/lb to the farm, $1.45/lb for cut and wrap butcher fees, $110 kill fee per whole animal.

  • This deposit reserves your whole or half hog and will be applied toward your final bill.

  • The remaining balance will be due once we receive hanging weights from the butcher.

  • Price is determined by hanging weight, which is the weight of the carcass after the hide, head, hooves, and non-usable organs are removed. Hanging weight is typically about 70% of the live animal weight.

  • Expected hanging weight: ~200 lbs

  • Some hogs may be larger than 200 lbs.

  • If you prefer a hog on the smaller side, let us know—we can’t make guarantees, but we do our best to match pigs with customers.

After processing, a half hog generally yields 70–100 lbs of packaged pork, depending on cut choices and bone-in vs. boneless selections.

Butcher Information (Paid Separately)

We are using Wears Custom Cuts for processing this year.

You will work directly with the butcher to choose:
