Pasture Raised Non-GMO Pork CSA***Pleaes note: unfortunately we are not selling pork shares for 2022, but hope to be back for next year. Feel free to reach out with questions.***
Pigs on pasture are happy and healthy pigs! Our pork has incredible flavor, and customers rave about the quality of the meat! We raise heritage breeds from local VT farms known for their ability to thrive outdoors and produce high quality meat. Our pigs have access to the outdoors as soon as we pick them up and are eager to browse through the grass and soil for worms, roots, and grubs. They receive a diverse diet from their pasture, non-GMO grain from Green Mountain Feeds, vegetable scraps from restaurants, and vegetables from our fields. They particularly enjoy broccoli stalks, squash and apples! Our finished pork is sold in bulk--in quantities of whole animals, halves and/or quarters. The price is $6.00/hanging weight pound, which translates to roughly $9.99/lb of finished meat. We do not smoke any cuts, but we can sometimes request specialty cuts, so you can have them smoked after you pick them up at your own cost. The final weight of each animal determines the exact total price. Our hanging weight for whole pigs ranges from 150 to 250 lbs. You will get back approximately 65% of the hanging weight in meat cuts. The finished pork is cut into chops, roasts, country style ribs, pork belly (fresh bacon), ham steaks and sausage, with the option for more customization by special request. You reserve your share with a deposit, and we fill reservations in the order we receive them, so the bigger pigs go to those who sign up early (unless you specifically request a smaller pig). We contact you when your order is ready and you pick up your order at our farm and pay the balance at that time. If you're like us and see to see a pricing example, here's a go, but please remember, these are rough estimates: quarter pig=60 pounds hanging weight=35 pounds finished meat=$360 half pig=125 pounds hanging weight=70 pounds finished meat=$750 whole pig=250 pounds hanging weight=140 pounds finished meat=$1500 We are offering 1/4, 1/2 and whole pig shares. Our 2021 slaughter date is scheduled for early to mid November). Exact date TBD, but will update ASAP. Pick up is generally about 1-2 weeks after slaughter, and shares must be picked up the day we pick them up. TO RESERVE YOUR PORK SHARE SEE DEPOSIT INFORMATION BELOW: 1/4 pig share minimal deposit - $150 1/2 pig share minimal deposit - $300 1 whole pig share minimal deposit - $600 **We ask for a minimum deposit; however, if you are able to put down more this will greatly help offset the cost of grain. Another way to think about it, the more you pay up front, the less you pay at pick up. Please inquire if you have questions or would like to reserve a share: Contact us |
