A half hog (also called a side of pork) is an excellent way for families to stock up on high-quality, locally-raised pork at a great value. When you pre-order a half hog, you’re reserving approximately 70-80 lbs of packaged, freezer-ready pork from one animal.
What You Get:
Cuts included: Pork chops, bacon, ham, shoulder roasts (Boston butt and picnic), tenderloin, ribs (spare ribs or baby back), sausage, ground pork, and more — basically half of everything the hog has to offer.
Customization: Before processing, you’ll choose how you want your hog cut:
Thickness of pork chops (¾" or 1" is most popular)
Curing & smoking options for bacon and ham
Brat flavors (plain, cheddar, etc)
Packaging: All cuts are vacuum-sealed and frozen for long-term storage (up to 12 months or more).
Why Pre-Order a Half Hog?
Better price — Pay a fixed rate per pound instead of retail grocery prices.
Traceable & fresh — Know exactly where your pork comes from and support a local farmer.
Custom cuts — Get the pork exactly the way your family likes it.
Typical yield: A half hog usually fills 2–3 large boxes and provides enough pork for 4–8 months for a family of 4, depending on how often you eat pork.
Note: Final packaged weight varies slightly depending on the size of the hog and your specific cutting and curing choices. A deposit is required to reserve your half hog, with the balance due when the meat is ready for pickup or delivery (typically 1–3 weeks after harvest).
Perfect for families who love bacon, ribs, and roasts and want to fill their freezer with delicious, locally raised pork.
