About our pigs:

At Glynwood, we raise a mix of Tamworth and Gloucestershire Old Spot pigs. Our pig program is Animal Welfare Approved (AWA) and we are participating as a pilot farm in A Greener World's Certified Regenerative program. We are proud to care for happy, high-welfare animals that graze on rotationally managed pastures, on land rooted in principles of regenerative agriculture.

Why buy bulk?

There are countless advantages to purchasing a whole hog. This is the most cost-effective way to buy an abundance of quality, pastured pork, saving you around 25% off of our retail prices. When buying in bulk, you are able to stock up on a variety of nose-to-tail cuts, keeping cooking interesting and minimizing waste in the meat supply chain. Lastly, by choosing to eat this way, you directly support our farm as we head into the next growing season. 

How does it work?

This is your once per year opportunity to custom cut a Glynwood pig to your specific liking! After placing your order, we will follow-up with a step-by-step cut-sheet that allows you to make decisions around what meat you'll receive in the end.

One whole hog contains around 150 lbs of our Animal Welfare Approved pork, portioned into the frozen retail cuts you know and love. This measure will vary depending on how you choose to custom cut your hog. When you purchase a custom-cut pig, you will be paying for the hanging carcass weight (HCW), which represents the weight of the animal after it is slaughtered and unusable parts are removed. The hanging carcass weight for a whole hog is approximately 200 lbs and our rate is $6.25/lb HCW for a whole pig. 

A $200 upfront deposit is required at the time of your order, which will be deducted from your order's total at the time of pickup. Final billing will be based on $6.25/lb of hanging carcass weight. We cover butchery and processing fees.

What is included?

A standard custom cut hog will contain an assortment of: bacon, bacon ends, jowl bacon ends, jowl bacon, pork chops, ground pork, sausage links, smoked hocks, ham steaks, baby back ribs, country style ribs, spare ribs, butt roasts, bones, and offal, including ears, heart, liver, leaf lard, fatback, tail, and trotters.

How do I store this meat?

Purchasing a whole hog means you'll be taking home a lot of meat. You might want to purchase a designated chest freezer to hold your food comfortably. These freezers can often be purchased used, for a fair price, if you’re on the lookout.
