Hope you are faring well through the winter. We hve lots of snow. And pork. I have both fresh pork and smoked (hams, bacon, jowl, trotters, hocks) in the freezer that is available now.
Farmers Baskets are $80 for 20 lbs which includes an assortment and a pound of bacon.
Other boxes and whole hams are also available.
Pickup is available at the farm and I can deliver in Vermont for $15.

Have you noticed any difference in the meat of pigs slaughtered in late winter as opposed to other times of the year?
I grew up in Amish country in north east Ohio and there’s a wisp of a memory kicking around about what you lost in weight you made up for in a superior quality of meat but at my age that could just be a confused memory. Thanks
Yes, I can taste a very small difference. Warm season is on fresh pasture which has more variety. Winter is on hay which is much closer to a mono-crop. Both have whey and such. Fall and early winter has turnips, beets, pumpkins, etc. I don’t think most people would notice the difference and I only do because I was looking for it. Either way it is delicious.
