Jollity Farm: Co-op Pig Shares
Tuesday, April 28, 2020 at 10:25PM We are raising 6 pigs from May to November this year and still have a small number of whole pigs or sides available for reservation. Please contact Elisabeth at info@jollityfarm.ca with an expression of interest and/or with questions.
How it works:
Similar to other CSA (community supported agriculture) programs, we will request an up front investment. This helps us farmers pay the cost of piglets and feed over the 5-6 months of care.
Our pigs are a 4 way X breed proven for their excellent meat production. They are a blend of Landrace/Yorkshire/Duroc/Hampshire.
They will be raised on pasture in rotation with chickens and goats, and will enjoy nonGMO grains with farm vegetables and fall fruit.
They are harvested at a local abattoir and you can customize your butchery order. Pigs will weigh in at approx. 190-220 lbs.
Costs & details:
You pay $5.5/lb hanging weight which includes piglet purchase, feed, husbandry, transport to abattoir and delivery of finished product. You pay the abattoir and butcher fees. You must be living on-island in November to collect your pork, as we will not be able to provide freezer space.
Abattoir $75-85/pig
Butchery (cut & wrap) $0.90/lb
Smoking $1.50/lb (bacon slicing costs extra)
Sausages $3.25/lb
+ GST (only on these services)
