5 Reasons to Buy a Whole or Half Hog for Your Freezer This Fall

5 Reasons to Buy a Whole or Half Hog for Your Freezer This Fall

As the days get shorter and the holidays approach, now is the perfect time to stock your freezer with premium pork from our regenerative farm. Buying a whole or half hog is not only convenient but also gives you the chance to enjoy a variety of cuts that will elevate your meals all season long. Here are five reasons why purchasing in bulk is a smart, flavorful choice for your family:

1. Cost-Effective

Buying a whole or half hog is one of the most economical ways to enjoy high-quality meat. You’re getting a wide variety of cuts—including premium ones like bacon, chops, and baby back ribs—at a better price per pound than buying individual cuts.

2. Custom Cuts to Suit Your Needs

When you purchase a whole or half hog, you get the benefit of customized processing. You can specify how thick you want your pork chops, how large you want your roasts, and even how you want your sausage seasoned. Plus, some of our processors offer nitrite-free smoked hams, so you can be ready for those holiday feasts!

3. Less Grocery Shopping

Having a freezer full of pork means fewer trips to the store. With a variety of cuts at your fingertips, you’ll always have options for quick weeknight meals or weekend slow-cooked roasts. Perfect for busy families!

4. Superior Taste and Quality

Our heritage breed pigs are raised on non-GMO feed and allowed to thrive in natural conditions, resulting in marbled, flavorful pork that’s far superior to what you’d find in a conventional grocery store. The difference is in the taste!

5. Support Local, Sustainable Farming

By purchasing pork directly from our farm, you’re not only getting the best meat for your family, but you’re also supporting local, sustainable agriculture. Our pigs are raised with care in a regenerative system that prioritizes animal welfare and environmental health.


With a whole or half hog, you'll have everything you need to create delicious, farm-fresh meals from now through the holidays and beyond! Ready to fill your freezer? Check out our Whole and Half Hog Shares and secure your order today.
