Pork tastes the way it does based on how it is raised. We feed our pigs NO hormones, antibiotics or growth steroids. They have 24/7 access to a paddock where they can get outside to play, root around ...and just enjoy being a pig! |

NEWS FROM THE FARM In prior years, we have raised Tamworths right on the farm. We found this to be a very rewarding experience.

What is a Tamworth? Tamworth is a very old breed originating in Ireland and developed further in England. It is a red colored pig with a long body and stout legs. It is considered a “bacon hog”, that is to say leaner. It is said to be good on pasture, thriving well on grass and forage. The Tamworth was brought to Canada in the 1800’s and in 1882 purported to have entered into the U.S. |

Order either a whole or half hog. Expected hanging weight for a whole around 200-225 lbs. (Butchering removes around 30% bone/fat). We will provide you a cutting order about a month in advance. If you have never filled out a cutting order, have no fear! We'll walk you through it. Normal choices include chops, loin & shoulder roasts, steaks, ribs, ham, bacon, sausage, liver, heart. You can decide on the thickness of each cut and the weight in each package, customizing it for your family. We use a local meat processor to butcher and package our product. They individually vacuum seal each package in heavy plastic, suitable for freezing. |
