*Now accepting reservations for Wildom Hogs cut by John Blewitt (May / June)
We are a regenerative farm that prioritizes animal welfare, ecology, and human health. Simply put, we produce food that’s good for the animals, the land, and you.
Our heritage breed pigs are raised in the forest where they have a diverse mix of forage, plenty of shade and cover, and room to root. They are consistently rotated to new areas which allows them to access fresh forage and explore new territory while also giving the soil adequate time to rest recover and regenerate. The pigs are given whey from a local cheesemaker and certified organic feed that is corn/soy free.

*Whole and Half Hog Shares can be customized by you. Quarter pork share cuts are pre-determined*
What you pay:
1. You pay us for the hog - to reserve your winter 2024 hog share we require $800 deposit for a whole hog, $450 for a half hog, and $250 for a quarter hog. The remaining balance is due immediately after processing of the animal, once we have the hanging weight. Our pricing is based on the hanging weight of the animal.
2. You pay the John, the butcher, for processing fees
How much space do you need?
A whole hog will take up approximately 8 cubic feet of freezer space, half hog 4 cubic feet, quarter hog 2 cubic feet.
Why you should consider a share:
Purchasing meat in bulk is the most cost effective way to buy our meat. If you have the funds and the freezer space then investing in a share is the way to go! Not only will you have a freezer full of nourishing meat from a farm you trust, but you will also enjoy the convenience that it brings, and all the trips to the store it saves you!
