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, free-foraging Kune Kunes.
Most people don’t know that the pork they buy in the grocery store, even the gourmet cuts from heritage purebreds, is from animals slaughtered at around six months old. Kunekunes, by contrast, are allowed to grow to full maturity. They have an enriching life with their family group, they play in the snow, they splash in kiddie pools in the summer, and they stuff themselves on apples, acorns, and squash in the autumn. Sometime before their second birthday, they head to the family-owned processor we use for all our animals, which is a kind, quiet, and calm farm environment that treats the pigs respectfully and delivers USDA-inspected cuts to our buyers.
