FAQ's
How much on average does a whole pork side cost?
For a 300-pound hog, the approximate hanging weight would be 180 pounds, giving you a purchase price of $720. With that estimated hanging weight, basic processing fees would be $330, giving you a total purchase price of $1,050.
Based on typical yield of the hanging weight, you should take home about 140 pounds of cut pork for a final cost of approximately $7.50 per pound. Your cost is based on hanging weight and your final yield will vary due to moisture loss during dry aging and your specific cut selections.
Also note, with pork there are a lot more value added products available. Any additional sausages or flavors will have an additional cost associated with them from the processor.
How will my meat be packaged?
Each piece will be vacuum sealed in clear packaging and labeled with the name of the cut.

PLEASE NOTE: Bacon production does take an additional several weeks beyond when all other cuts are complete and ready. We are still required to pickup the other product as soon as it is available and will have to pickup the bacon separately - as we do not currently have enough freezer space to store your pork product until the bacon is ready, we will invoice you for the total cost and schedule getting your pork to you prior to the bacon being ready. Once the bacon has been picked up we will arrange to get it to you as well.

Final payment can be made via cash, check, or credit card.
How much storage space do I need?
Many people ask how much freezer storage space they will need. As a general rule of thumb you should plan for 1 cubic foot of freezer space per 35-40 pounds of meat. (1 cubic foot of space is roughly the size of a full large brown grocery bag.) For example, a whole pork share final product weighs approximately 100 pounds. So you should plan for 3 cubic feet.
