Our hogs are born and raised right here on the farm — we do not buy feeder piglets. We’re building our herd with health and strong genetics in mind. While predominantly Berkshire, our animals also carry Duroc and Yorkshire bloodlines, which creates excellent marbling and rich flavor.

They rotate weekly through wooded pasture where they forage perennial plants and acorns, supplemented with a balanced non-GMO grain ration. Sunlight, fresh water, and room to roam are always a priority.

Available in the freezers:

• bacon
• sausages (sweet Italian, hot Italian, andouille, chorizo, breakfast, kielbasa, bratwurst)
• baby back ribs
• blade steak
• Boston butt roast
• country style ribs
• smoked jowl
• ground pork
• loin chops
• picnic shoulder roast
• spare ribs
• tenderloins
• pork bones
• leaf lard

Whole & Half Pork Program

Bring home pasture-forward, forest-raised pork from Northern Farm & Flowers. We offer whole and half pigs processed to your specifications — nutrient-dense, humanely raised, and delivered to your door.

How the program works

1. Choose a half or whole pig (many customers split a whole with a friend or family member to save freezer space).
2. Place your order by emailing northernctfarm@gmail.com.
3. We’ll schedule a time to review the custom cut sheet together so your processing instructions are exactly as you want. At that time we collect a deposit of $200.
4. After your animal is weighed we’ll invoice you for the final balance (including the processing fee).
5. We pick up your meat from the processor and deliver it to your home within a 25-mile

Weights, pricing & yield

• Typical hanging weight: ~200–225 lb.
• Price: $4.50 per hanging pound.
• Average retail yield after processing: 70–75% of hanging weight, depending on cut choices.
• Processing fees vary based on your selected cuts and packaging.

Delivery generally occurs 1–2 weeks after the pig reaches the processor, depending on the processor’s schedule and your custom requests.

Why order with us

We don’t sell this program online because we want to walk you through each step personally — from choosing cuts to confirming packaging — so you receive exactly what you ordered and understand the entire process.

Ready to reserve a half or whole pig? Email northernctfarm@gmail.com and we’ll get you started.

Concerned about freezer space? For a whole pig, plan on 8-10 cubic feet of freezer space. That’s about four large grocery totes packed full. For reference, the average home refrigerator’s freezer compartment holds about 4.8 cubic feet.
