We are raising 12 pigs from May to November this year and still have a small number of whole pigs or sides available for reservation.
How it works:
Similar to other CSA (community supported agriculture) programs, we will request an up-front investment. This helps farmers with the cost of feed over the 5-6 months of care.
Our pigs are a 4-way X breed proven for their excellent meat production. They are a blend of Landrace/Yorkshire/Duroc/Hampshire.
They are raised 100% on grass pastures on two Thetis Island farms and are enjoying non-GMO grains with lots of farm vegetables and fruit.
They are harvested at a local Government certified abattoir and you can customize your butchery order. Pigs will weigh in at approx. 210-250 lbs.
Costs & details:
You pay $5.5/lb hanging weight which covers piglet purchase, feed, husbandry, transport to abattoir and delivery of finished product.
You pay the abattoir and butcher fees.
Abattoir $75-85/pig
Butchery (cut & wrap) $0.90/lb
Smoking $1.50/lb (bacon slicing costs extra)
Sausages $3.25/lb
+ GST (only on butchery services)
