🐷 LAST CALL FOR 2027 SWEET ROCK FARM BERKSHIRE PORK! 🐷

Sep 12
2 min read

The farmers market season is wrapping up, and that means it’s time for us to start planning for 2027!

If you’ve been thinking about filling your freezer with a whole or half Berkshire hog from Sweet Rock Farm, now is the time to reserve yours.

🚨 ORDERS CLOSE OCTOBER 1! 🚨

Why so early?

Because raising your pork starts long before processing day.

After orders close on October 1, we let our breeder know exactly how many piglets we’ll need for our 2027 customers. Between Christmas and New Year’s, we bring those piglets home to Sweet Rock Farm, where we raise them through the winter and spring until they’re ready for processing in June 2027.

These aren’t finished hogs we purchase right before processing. Your pork starts here as a piglet and is raised on our farm for you. ❤️

🥓 WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?

Our Berkshire hogs typically have a hanging weight between 180 and 220 pounds, with around 200 pounds being a good average for planning purposes.

At our current pricing:

🐷 Whole Hog — $850


Approximately $4.25 per pound hanging weight based on a 200-lb average.

🐷 Half Hog — $450


Approximately $4.50 per pound hanging weight based on a 100-lb half.

Processing is additional and paid directly to the butcher.

🥩 YOU CHOOSE HOW YOUR PORK IS CUT

One of the best things about buying a whole or half hog is getting to stock your freezer with the cuts your family actually enjoys.

When processing time arrives, you provide your cutting instructions directly to Lake Haven Meats. Depending on the processing options you choose, that can include chops, roasts, ribs, bacon, ham, sausage and more.

Lake Haven Meats processes and packages your pork, and you pay them directly for processing when you pick up your finished order.

💰 HOW RESERVING YOUR HOG WORKS

We try to keep it simple.

50% of your Sweet Rock Farm hog price is due when you place your order.

The remaining 50% is due the week we deliver your hog to Lake Haven Meats for processing.

Your processing costs are separate and are paid directly to Lake Haven Meats when you pick up your pork.

🚨 WHY OCTOBER 1 REALLY MATTERS

Once we give our breeder our final number, that’s it.

We’re raising the number of pigs our customers have reserved. We can’t simply add another finished hog in June if someone decides at the last minute that they’d like a half.

So if you’ve been saying…

“Maybe this is the year we buy a half hog…”

This is the year! 🐷❤️

While there’s snow on the ground this winter, your 2027 pork will already be here at Sweet Rock Farm growing for your family.

🐷 Raised by us.


🥓 Cut the way you want it.


❤️ Food from a local farm you know.
