Pork sold...but a new batch on it's way!

All of our pork was sold and they are currently at the processors! Thank you to those who purchased from us.

The good news is that we have 5 piglets that we are now raising for the next batch. They are currently being raised solely on milk. The neat thing about having way more raw Jersey milk than our family could possibly drink and extra whey leftover from cheese-making is that we have plenty to give the pigs. They love it and it is so good for them! We'll, of course, expand their diet as time goes by with extra fall garden produce and other goodies.

We'll keep updating on their progress, and when it gets close to processing time again, we'll be sure to post about it!

Pastured Pork

We have pastured pork to offer for sale! The pigs will be sold based on their hanging weight, at $.80/lb, and delivered to a Johnson County meat locker. From there, you can pick up your meat or we can arrange a delivery. You are responsible for processing costs. If a whole pig is too much meat, find a friend who would be willing to split it with you!

These pigs were raised on their mama for the first 4 months of life. Then, they were moved out to a large 2-acre pasture where they root and dig to their heart's content. They eat on pasture, as well as some supplemental feed.

Contact us by email if you'd like more information on getting your pastured pork.
