Our forest-raised pork is raised in the woods where they are rotated every month or so, to turn over soil & root for the good stuff. We supplement with a specialized local feed for optimal fat:muscle ratio. Forest raised is better for the hogs as it keeps parasites down, and invites less disease which means no need for antibiotics or vaccinations. Not only is forest raised pork better for health, it is better for the soil and allows us to wisely continue to use the land in a regenerative manner which is more sustainable. Forest raised pork is higher in omega-3’s, protein, Vitamin D and Vitamin E. $6/lb of hanging weight. We anticipate our hogs reaching a hanging weight of around 210-220 lb, which would yield 110-120 lb for half a hog. Half a hog yields approximately 90 lbs of the freshest and healthiest pork available. *Our butcher does cure & slice bacon, but there will be an additional cost added to your total for this.
