Question: How much does it cost?

 

Answer: The total cost depends on how much you order.  For bulk orders, we charge $5-$7 per pound of hanging weight.  Our pigs will likely weigh between 225 - 275 pounds so they will have a hanging weight of approximately 185 pounds.  The cost of your meat, including a $.85 processing cost, would be $360 for a quarter to $1100 for a whole hog. *Note* Customer is also responsible for any costs associated with curing selections (i.e. bacon, ham, and sausage).
