Half and whole pig sales
Are you ready for the best pork you’ve ever eaten? We sell whole and half pig shares from our happy, forage-raised Kune Kunes.
Most grocery-store pork, even heritage-breed cuts, comes from animals slaughtered around six months old. Kune Kunes, by contrast, grow to full maturity in their family group. They play in the snow, splash in summer pools, and fatten themselves on apples, acorns, and squash in autumn. Sometime before their second birthday they go to our trusted, family-owned processor — a calm, respectful, USDA-inspected facility.
Update July 2026: All 2026 shares are currently reserved. Join the waitlist or reserve early for 2027.
How it works
- Reserve. Submit your deposit and tell us whether you want a half or whole share. We will confirm your spot and estimated delivery window.
- Cut sheet. When your pig goes to the processor, you choose fresh or smoked ham, chop thickness, roast size, ground vs. whole cuts, and how much fat you want back.
- Pickup. Shares are typically ready between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Pick up at the farm in seacoast New Hampshire; arrange cold storage or bring coolers and boxes.

Pricing
All prices are packaged weight
Typically when you buy a whole or half pig, you’re paying either live weight or hanging weight. The price per pound can look really great if you’re not counting the fact that almost half of the pig will be gone by the time you are bringing home your boxes of meat. We don’t ask you to pay for bones, organs you don’t want, or waste. You also won’t pay for processing, which can be quite expensive.
Reserve a half pig
A typical half-pig share yields roughly 40–60 pounds of packaged meat, depending on the animal and your cut sheet. Includes fresh ham, shoulder, chops, roasts, ground pork, leaf lard, back fat, jowls, and belly/bacon.
11.50/lb packaged weight
Reserve a whole pig
A typical whole-pig share yields roughly 80–120 pounds of packaged meat, depending on the animal and your cut sheet. Includes two fresh hams, shoulders, chops, roasts, ground pork, leaf lard, back fat, jowls, and belly/bacon, as well as organ meat if you choose.
