Half Pork
Stock your freezer with a wide selection of locally raised pork—custom cut just the way you like it. A Half Pork from Homestead Natural Meats gives you the flexibility to choose how thick you want your chops, which roasts you prefer, how you’d like your hams prepared, and even which grind flavors you’d like. We’ll guide you through the cutting instructions step by step, making the process simple and tailored to your family’s needs.
What You’ll Receive
A half pig typically provides a hanging weight of 105–125 lbs, yielding about 70–90 lbs of take-home pork once processed. Your order may include a mix of:
-
Pork Chops & Steaks – Cut to your preferred thickness.
-
Roasts & Hams – Fresh or cured options for slow cooking or holidays.
-
Sausage & Ground Pork – With flavor options like breakfast, German, sweet Italian, hot Italian, Cajun, and fresh chorizo.
-
Ribs, Bacon & Pork Belly – Favorites for grilling, smoking, or slow roasting.
-
Lard & Specialty Cuts – As selected on your cut sheet.
Because every family eats differently, your order is fully customizable. Want more sausage and less roast? Prefer thick-cut chops or extra bacon? No problem—we’ll make sure your pork is cut and packaged exactly the way you want it. For more info and cut sheets click here.
