Pork For Sale

Finally! After hours of researching, phone calls, and debating, we found a USDA inspected processor that sounded like a good fit for processing our red wattle pork. The only hitch- 250 miles away! One of the disadvantages of living in northern Minnesota I guess. Nate's logged 1,000 miles in the past few weeks to deliver six pigs to the processor and then a return trip to bring home 44 boxes of processed pork. We are now able to sell pork by the package. Delicious, pasture raised, red wattle pork. The ham and bacons are smoked, uncured, nitrate and nitrite free (processed with celery juice, organically.) It was worth it- I think. If I can sell this round of product we may have some more available in the future. Otherwise, we may be moving out of the pork business. Keeping the pigs is the most costly venture on our diversified farm. They may be on pasture, but they still want grain, and grain is expensive, especially when you live in the woods!

If you would like to purchase some of this delicious product PLEASE, please, send me a message and I will hook you up. (tifanybriggs at yahoo dot com) All quantities are limited to the stock on hand. Though right now that involves a number of freezers full! I did sell 1/4 of our available pork chops yesterday though!
