Your cost for custom pork, cut and packaged how you choose, will be approximately $6.95 per pound (give or take depending on your processing choices). That includes everything from ground pork to bacon, pork chops and ham! 

For reference the ground pork in our farmers market shop is available through our herdshare for $6.95/lb and all other cuts go up from there.

Total payment for meat, minus reservation fee, will be due to LRF based on the specific weight of your half within a week of locker drop off date. You will also have have a one payment to the meat locker for processing and packaging your pork at the time of pick up 3-5 weeks later.

Hanging weight for a half is typically between 100-150lbs. Take home amount of pork ends up being approximately 65% of hanging weight. This ends up being around 65-100lbs of finished pork for your home freezer.
