Got Pork?

Our pigs are ready for market and this year we're going to be selling them a little differently. Instead of selling individual cuts, we're selling half animals. This means you get a variety of cuts of pork and the price per pound works out to about $3.50/lb.

We've been raising these Berkshire/Tamworth mixes here on the farm since they were 8 weeks old, after buying them from Farmer Chuck over at Freedom Food Farm in Raynham. They've eaten a diet of veggie scraps from the CSA, grain, and forage from their field and wooded pastures. We NEVER feed them antibiotics!

We expect our pigs to each yield around 250 lb of meat (125 lb per half pig) and the cost per half pig is $430. The exact poundage of meat and type of cuts will vary by each animal, but here's an approximate list of what a half pig generally breaks down into:

20-25 pork chops
2 roasts
1 ham
8 lb of bacon (!!)
3 lb of spare ribs
9 lb of ground pork or your choice of breakfast, hot Italian or sweet Italian sausage

To reserve your half pig, or ask any questions, email me at rodwyer@thetrustees.com.  We only have a limited number available, so they are on a first come first serve basis. Payment can be made when your pork is picked up from the Yellow House 3-4 weeks from now--we'll give you an exact date once we know it.

In related news, it looks like the lamb sale will be next week. I'll put out an announcement with the date and time in a few days.
