Shop & Breakdown
Depending on your choice of cut, different options are available to you. See below:
NOTE – the above weights for a quarter pork are approx. as it is difficult to split a half a pig into a quarter and make it equal. All of our pork is cut by a provincially inspected local butcher shop.
What we offer when you purchase our pork
