Half Pig Deposit - Prepacked Ready to Go!
Fill your freezer with half a pig and get creative this winter! This meat comes cut, wrapped, and ready for both your freezer and, even better, a winter of delicious home cooking.
Our pigs are pasture-raised in Richmond with plenty of space to dig, root, and wallow in the fresh air and sunshine.
A $150 deposit is required to secure your half, with the balance due at pickup in late December or early January. (Bacon arrives a little bit later.)
Here is what you'll receive with a half hog with estimated quantities. Final weights will vary a bit due to natural variation.

"How much room do I need in my freezer?" General Manager Catherine here. I'd say that a half hog will fit in most standard freezers, as long as you're OK with not having room for much more. If you have a 5 - 7 cubic foot freezer (it's a great size for getting into bulk buying, and you can pack it more efficiently than a regular freezer!) you will be able to fit a half hog with room to spare, and probably a whole hog in a 7 cubic foot model.
