PASTURED PORK

Mmmmm, Bacon!

Here at Little Barn Farm, we let pigs be pigs. We've learned what works, and what doesn't, and there is still much more to discover.

Our pigs are born right on our farm. We have started breeding high-performing commercial lines crossed with Duroc that produce delicious, high-quality, nutritious meat!

All of our pork is naturally raised, allowed to forage and access grain (and occasionally human food scraps), and humanely handled in our small herd. We can give individual attention to each animal, making sure that all of their needs are met and that they have clean water, a dry place to rest, and plenty to eat. 

And they are also helping us turn a piece of over-worked land back into a fertile, productive space. When they dig, they root up the weeds, turn in fertilizer (their own), and break up soil that has been packed down for too long. We are looking forward to seeing what they can do as we expand, little by little.

- BE THE FIRST TO KNOW WHEN OUR CUSTOM PORK IS READY TO ORDER FOR EACH YEAR!

HOW TO BUY OUR PORK

Custom Pork half or whole orders will be available in the spring and fall each year. 

Order exactly the cuts that you want!

​

Whole pigs will be farm killed (this is more humane) by licensed personnel, then taken to a local butcher to be cut and wrapped. For half orders they will be taken to a provincially inspected facility for processing. It will take 1-3 weeks (depending on which butcher is doing the work), and then when ready, we will arrange delivery or pickup of your pork!

PRICING

$4.50/lb based on hanging weight.

Includes farm kill, basic cut and wrap, curing of ham and bacon, and delivery.

Half of a hog will cost approximately $500 (+Inspection fee)
A whole hog will cost approximately $1000

Individual animal weights will vary. Additional items such as sausage or other processing will incur an extra cost.

*hanging weight means the skin, head, and organs have been removed. Depending on what cuts are chosen, the final weight of meat will be approximately 70% of the hanging weight.

July/August is selling now! Click Here to put down a deposit!

* We deliver between Calgary and Red Deer. Delivery outside this area would include an additional delivery fee unless local pickup was arranged.
