Never gotten pork directly from the farmer and don’t know what to expect? You’re not alone, and we promise it’s easier than you think.
Here’s how it works at Epp Farms:
First, you reserve your hog with us. Just let us know if you’re interested in a whole or half and we’ll put your name on one.
Next, we deliver your hog to Cornelius Butchery on your scheduled butcher date. Once they have your hog, Cornelius will contact you directly to ask how you’d like your pork cut and processed—things like chops, roasts, bacon, sausage, and more. Don’t worry if you’ve never done this before; they’re great at walking you through your options.
Cornelius will also send us the hanging weight of your hog and we’ll let you know what you owe us at that time.
Cornelius will then process your hog and let you know when your meat is ready for pick up. You’ll pay the butcher separately for processing when you pick it up. Processing will take between one and three weeks depending on what all you are having done.
The result? High-quality, locally raised pork, processed how you like it. Once you try it, it’s hard to go back to store-bought.
We have one whole hog left this year and it’s headed to the butcher on the 22nd. If you’ve been on the fence, now is your time! Send us a message if you’d like to reserve a hog or have questions—we’re always happy to help.
