Butchering Tips for Bulk Pork

11/14/2022

1 Comment

 
If you have never ordered a half or whole pig it can be an intimidating undertaking and we are here to help out! Our pigs range from 200-350 lbs, so a whole pig is about 5 boxes worth of meat (and a half is about 2.5-3 boxes) Depending on how you customize your pork order will depend on how many of each cut you get, but we have included an example of a whole pig order below. 

Hanging weight:
  • We charge for our half & whole pigs by the hanging weight. This is the weight of the animal at the butcher shop after slaughter (including the bones, fat, organs & meat) This is the most accurate way we can charge. 
  • Our whole pigs are $6/lb and half pigs are $6.25/lb.
 Meat weight:
  • Your total pounds of meat will differ from your hanging weight depending how you ask for things to be cut.
  • To get the most yield back we suggest getting all of the items including organs, leaf lard and keep the bones in cuts like hams etc. 
  • If you would like all boneless cuts there will less weight because the hanging weight does include the bones.

It all started with a pie...

11/1/2022

I often get asked how the business started, well to be honest I can't really remember the exact timeframe when the idea began, but I know for sure it was in the kitchen with my mom. I am one of six kids, and the oldest daughter, so naturally I got to spend time in the kitchen helping my mom keep everyone fed. On our farm we have a couple of apple trees and every fall we pick the apples. It was always great fun seeing how many we could pick, if you could reach the perfect one and occasionally rescuing a brother from climbing too high.

The apples were destined for eating, apple sauce, apple crisp and some pies for the freezer. One year we decided to get crazy and make 15-20 pies for the freezer. So, the pastry making began and then the peeling and slicing. I remember mom just mixing up the apples with a bit of sugar and a bit of flour. Being the math lover I am, I wanted actual measurements and she just laughed. We finished and were satisfied with our freezer stash of pies. That winter we baked an apple pie a week and each time we baked one I fondly remembered all of the steps that went into making that pie. It wasn't just an apple pie; it was more than that. It was 15 small memories strung together. Now don't get me wrong a couple of those memories included was dumping flour on the floor, siblings arguing about who gets which apple etc. Ha ha! It was all love though. It was sitting around our dinner table that I realized the power of food memories.
