Buying meat in bulk from a local farm might feel unfamiliar at first…

👉 But the process is actually simple.

This guide walks you through exactly what to expect when you reserve a whole or half hog—from start to freezer.

🐖 The Process at a Glance

1. Reserve your hog
2. We raise it on pasture
3. You choose your cuts
4. The butcher processes your meat
5. You pick up or receive your order

👉 That’s it—no guesswork, no surprises.

Step 1: Reserve Your Hog

You start by reserving either:

• A half hog (great for smaller families)
• A whole hog (best value per pound)

👉 This secures your place for an upcoming processing date.

Step 2: We Raise the Animal

Your hog is:

• Raised on pasture
• Fed a natural diet
• Given time to grow properly

👉 No confinement, no shortcuts—just real farming.

How long does this take?

From reservation to pickup, most hog shares take several months depending on availability.

Step 3: Choose Your Cuts

Before processing, you’ll:

• Select bacon options
• Choose sausage types
• Decide thickness of chops
• Customize roasts and cuts
  
  

👉 Don’t worry—we guide you through everything.

Step 4: Professional Processing

Your hog is processed at a:

• USDA-inspected butcher
• Professionally cut and packaged
• Vacuum-sealed and labeled
  
  

👉 This ensures quality, safety, and convenience.

Step 5: Pickup or Delivery

Once ready, you can:

• Pick up at the farm
• Or receive local delivery (where available)
