Frequently Asked Questions
All the answers you seek, in one place.
Why should we purchase products from you?
We are a small, family run farm that really cares about our animals welfare and ultimately our end product. Our pigs are raised as nature intended, on pasture and in the forest with plenty of space and fresh air. We also supplement their diet with non GMO feed. These conditions create a superior product that we are sure you and your family will enjoy immensely!
Buying from our farm enables us to continue farming in such a way that puts the land and animals first, not the bottom line. We really care about customer satisfaction and strive to make sure you know it. Take a chance on us, we promise you won't regret it!
How do I get my products? Do you deliver?
How do I get my products? Do you deliver?
Right now, the only option we offer is farm pick up.If you are custom ordering a whole or half pig you can also pick it up from the butcher in Mount Forest. Please ensure you schedule an appointment with us if you decide to pick up your order at the farm, we want to make sure we are available and that your order is ready to go for you.
What is the "hanging weight" of a pig?
Hanging weight, sometimes referred to as a dressed carcass, is the weight of the pig once the organs, hair, blood and inedibles have been removed. This is what you have before the carcass gets cut up into individual cuts of meat.
We charge by the hanging weight because the weight of the cuts you end up with varies depending on your personal preferences. Examples; If you have bone in ham vs black forest, pork chops vs. pork loin and peameal, and whether you want the bones and organs.
This also promotes the use of the whole animal and decreases waste of perfectly delicious, but less popular, cuts.
