Berkshire Pork Shares—Sold by the Half & Whole
Berkshire pork, raised on pasture and finished on certified organic, non-GMO, soy-free feed.
We raise a limited number of hogs each year for families who value quality, transparency, and knowing where their food comes from. Limited shares each year—most years sell out before harvest.
Is Buying a Pork Share Right for You?
A pork share is a good fit if you:
Have freezer space
Cook regularly at home

Care about ingredient quality and transparency
It may not be a good fit if you’re looking for:
Individual retail cuts
Immediate pickup
Grocery-store pricing
How The Process Works
Reserve Your Share
Review the Buying & Price Guide, then place a non-refundable deposit to reserve your share ($200 for a half hog / $300 for a whole hog). Once your deposit is received, we’ll confirm availability and next steps by email.
Raise & Finish
Your Berkshire hog is raised on pasture and finished on certified organic, non-GMO, soy-free feed until fall harvest.
Customize
Before processing, you’ll work directly with the processor to choose your cuts. If this is your first pork share, we’ll help you understand your options ahead of time.
Pick Up
Harvest takes place in the fall. After processing, you’ll pick up your pork directly from the processor during a scheduled pickup window (typically late September or early October).
What Comes With A Pork Share
Heritage Berkshire pork, known for rich flavor and natural marbling
A full range of cuts, including chops, roasts, ribs, ground pork, bacon, and sausage.
Custom cut to your preferences—not a pre-packaged box
Processed at a local, custom processor where you select your cuts directly
Optional traditional cuts (soup bones, hocks, fat, organ meats, upon request)
Buying by the half or whole hog ensures the entire animal is used, maximizing both value and respect for the animal raised for your table.

About Pricing
Pork shares are priced by hanging weight, plus processing. The final cost depends on the size of your hog and your cut selections, which is why pricing varies from share to share. A non-refundable deposit secures your share of our limited fall harvest and is applied toward your final balance, with the remaining amount due at processing.
Our pricing reflects the true cost of raising Berkshire hogs on pasture using certified organic, non-GMO, soy-free feed, small-batch processing, and hands-on management from start to finish.
This model is best suited for customers who value quality, transparency, and buying directly from the farm. Full pricing details, estimates, and examples are provided in our Buying & Price Guide.
