We are beginning pre-orders for our bulk pork. Orders will be processed and available for pick-up between Sept. and Nov., according to your preference.
Our hogs are raised on the farm on hay, grains, fruits and vegetables without antibiotics, growth hormones or other unnatural chemical stimulants.
We offer half hogs and full hogs in limited quantities. Just like our beef, hog prices are based on carcass weight. Hogs lose less in the butchering process, though, so a 200 pound hog would yield around 145 pound carcass weight and 120 pounds packaged.
Pork is offered at $3.25 per pound carcass weight, including processing. A half hog will equal about 20% ham, 18% chops, 18% roasts, 10% bacon, 4% spare ribs and the remainder in ground pork. Half hogs will yield approximately 50 to 60 pounds, whole hogs 100 to 120 pounds, so be sure you have plenty of freezer space!
Your deposit will be applied to the final purchase price. We will send your invoice once your meat has been delivered to the butcher and we get the carcass weight. You will be given a pick up date at that time as well. Orders must be paid for prior to pick up and can be picked up on the farm in Peculiar or you can arrange to pick it up at one of our Farmers Market locations.
This is a once-per-year offering with limited supply and we will begin taking orders again in Spring 2011.
All items are raised and grown on our farm in Peculiar, MO. Our produce is grown using organic and sustainable practices. We use no pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers.
Our animals are fed natural grasses and grains and allowed plenty of room to roam. None of our livestock are given antibiotics or hormones of any kind. If an animal needs doctoring that requires the use of antibiotics, they are immediately removed from our meat program.
