🥩 Buy Local. Know Your Food. Fill Your Freezer.

At the heart of what we do is supporting local farmers and helping families put high-quality, locally raised meat on their tables. One of the best ways to do that is by purchasing whole livestock — whether that’s a ¼, ½, or whole beef, or a ½ or whole hog.

Buying by the carcass isn’t just cost-effective, it gives you:
✔️ Transparency in where your food comes from
✔️ A freezer stocked with a variety of cuts
✔️ The opportunity to support local agriculture directly

We always encourage customers to do their homework before buying, especially if it’s your first time. Understanding cut options, freezer space, and yield expectations makes the experience smooth and rewarding.

This Iowa State Extension guide is an excellent resource to help you decide what’s right for your family 👇

If you have questions or want to talk through options, we’re always happy to help. Buying local matters — and we’re proud to be part of that process. ❤️🥩

Most of the pigs in our current litter are spoken for as market hogs. We do currently have 2 available as feeders.
We will have registered litters born this winter that will be available at both feeder and market weights.
