This makes an awesome Christmas gift. Before we were pig farmers :)
My parents bought us a 1/2 pork for Christmas. Best gift ever!!! Now we fill our parents freezers with farm fresh pork.
Berkshire pork is renowned for its richness, texture, marbling, juiciness, tenderness and overall depth of flavor. It is thought by many to be the Kobe beef of pork. It is said to have a very specific taste, not generic and bland or mild like regular pork.
Today Berkshire Pork is the most highly sought after pork in the world. Berkshire pork looks and tastes like no other pork. Unlike commodity pork or “The Other White Meat” Berkshire pork is visibly different. It has a darker richer color with an abundance of intramuscular marbling. Its flavor is distinctive with an unparalleled juicieness and tenderness for pork.
Our animals are raised the old-fashioned way. They graze in the pasture, are fed alfalfa hay, and locally milled grain. They run and buck through the field and wallow in the mud holes they create. We never use farrowing crates. Instead our momma's have a shelter with lots of fresh straw during farrowing (birthing) time. We do not use antibiotics or give any hormones.
We are now accepting deposits for the next group ready for butcher. They will be ready for your freezer in December. Deposit on 1/2 pig $100. Whole pig $200. Final price is $4.00lb hanging weight. Average is $300-400 for a half $600-800 for a whole.
